The Speculative Literature Foundation (http:// www.speculativeliterature.org) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting literary quality in speculative fiction. "Speculative literature" is a catch-all term meant to inclusively span the breadth of fantastic literature, encompassing fiction ranging from science fiction to ghost stories to folk and fairy tales to magical realism to modern myth-making. With the launch of the Fountain Award, a $1000 prize for excellence in short fiction, we hope to encourage this thriving tradition.
