Welcome to Storyteller's Digest! It is my great pleasure to present to you the two stories chosen for our inaugural March 2008 issue, compiled from the best of the work submitted to us and chosen well for what we want to achieve. Both stories are interesting tales told in a strong narrative style; the first a glimpse of love in a small heartland town and the other a slightly surreal example of rejection and redemption. They are, I think, indicative of the style Storyteller's Digest wants to highlight; they are easy and fun to read while being just a little deeper than they look.

The stories are currently available for your reading pleasure in the category labeled "Stories" in the main menu to the left. We are working on a full, colorful printout in PDF format for those of you who would like a nicer looking copy to put on your e-book readers or PDAs- stay tuned for that in the next few weeks.

I would also like to take the time to thank all of you who submitted stories for inclusion in our first magazine; this magazine is nothing without your input, and we were surprised at the volume of submissions we received for our first issue. It's difficult to submit stories to a magazine with no examples, but many of you did and we have chosen the two best stories from among them. We encourage everyone to continue submitting- we're nothing but a showcase for all the talent that's out there, and we want to read it and share it with the world!

Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Storyteller's Digest
