The Imaginary Word
June 2006


Welcome to the June 2006 issue of the Imaginary Word. This month finds me in a bit of an upheaval. My world is changing, spinning faster than sometimes I think I can keep up with but I am trying. Unfortunately, this month I did decide it was time to resign as an assistant editor of Lily Literary Review though I know it will continue to be a beautiful and worthy publication for years to come. I am only glad I was afforded the opportunity to work with such a venue - I've learned a lot.

This month is a bit varied and eclectic - rather like me - but overall, the work to be found online this month is as good as ever. I do hope you all find something you can enjoy.

On a sad note, this month marks the last month for one of my favorite online magazines, Deep Magic.

Just a reminder that the month of August there will not be an Imaginary Word as I will be more concerned about the baby coming. Should anyone want to sub for me and put together their own version of the Imaginary Word - please contact me at imaginary word @ yahoo . com (remove the spaces).

Don't forget to drop into the Forums!

Enjoy and have a great month!

~Sarah Wagner

From Our Sponsors
The Imaginary Word is sponsored by Better Fiction, an online writer's workshop and community dedicated to seeing its members succeed.

The Imaginary Word is also sponsored by Totally Novel:

"You should have seen the way they cried out for blood. I frequent the boards at a popular SF&F magazine, and the occasional spam left by self-published authors trying to sell their books always provoked drastic responses. For me, it signaled a sparsity of opportunities for independant writers to market their books. Totally Novel is trying to change that." - Wade Ogletree, Founder of Totally Novel.
