SPECULATIVE LITERATURE FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE

The Speculative Literature Foundation (SLF) is pleased to announce a new Technology Exchange program aimed at helping struggling writers by finding new homes for second hand technology. Individuals are encouraged to make spare equipment available through a bulletin board on the Foundation's web site at http://www.speculativeliterature.org/Awards/TechnologyExchange.php. The Exchange will match those in need of equipment with those who no longer have a use for it.

The Technology Exchange will act purely as a matching service. None of the equipment offered will be bought or sold. However, because SLF is a registered non-profit organization (IRS 501(c)3) any donations will be tax-deductible within the USA. All donors and recipients will remain anonymous except where required to facilitate exchange of equipment. Neither donor nor recipient needs to be a member of SLF to use the service. No technical support will be provided.

The Speculative Literature Foundation is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the interests of readers, writers, editors and publishers in the speculative literature community.

"Speculative literature" is a catch-all term meant to inclusively span the breadth of fantastic literature, encompassing literature ranging from hard and soft science fiction to epic fantasy to ghost stories to folk and fairy tales to slipstream to magical realism to modern mythmaking -- any literature containing a fabulist or speculative element.

More information about the Speculative Literature Foundation is available from its web site (http://www.speculativeliterature.org/) or by writing to info@speculativeliterature.org.
