Dear Editor:
I recently started a new flash fiction site called “Weirdyear Daily Flash Fiction”, and I was wondering if you might be interested in putting a link to it up on your site.
Thanks!

Website: Free Podcasts from Odyssey Workshop
As of February 1, 2007, the Odyssey Writing Workshop is offering free podcasts on its website, www.odysseyworkshop.org.
Odyssey is an intensive, six-week workshop for writers of fantasy, science fiction, and horror whose work is approaching publication quality. The workshop is held each summer in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The podcasts are excerpts from lectures given by guest writers, editors, and agents at Odyssey. Every month or two, Odyssey will release a new podcast. Each one is ten to fifteen minutes long. The first podcast is an excerpt from a lecture Charles L. Grant gave in the summer of 2000 on characterization. Future podcasts will feature lecture excerpts from Robert J. Sawyer, Melissa Scott, Jeff VanderMeer, Gardner Dozois, and others.

To the editor(s) of Planet Magazine:
I am the editor of the new online science fiction magazine Atomjack, and I’m pleased to announce that Atomjack has just published its first issue, with short stories by Rick Novy, Bruce Boston, Cameron Pierce, Thomas Canfield, and Robert Laughlin. The site was created by the Rev. Brian Worley, whose credits include every issue of Susurrus Magazine and the web site for Lullaby Hearse.
I’d be thrilled if you could check it out and let me know what you thought. I think you’ll enjoy the site, the stories, and the artwork.
Thanks for you time and consideration,
Adicus Ryan Garton, Editor

Dear Editor: My first book, “Humanity’s Edge”, will be available through amazon.com this December. The book is a collection of 13 classic science fiction short stories with a libertarian worldview. If your readers liked my other stories in Planet, I think they’ll like this book too.

Dear Editor: Your readers may remember my story “Searching for the Ferryman”, published in Planet last year. “Ferryman”, together with all of my other previously published short stories, have been gathered into a collection titled Retribution and other Reactions. In addition, several new stories were written especially for the collection. It is available from Equilibrium Books. More details can be found on my website.
Thanks,
Derek Smith
