ART IS EVERYWHERE. Welcome to The Elliott Issue of Paradigm, our sixth. Each issue is frought with its own unique difficulties and challenges on its way "out there." This issue is no different. However, The Elliott Issue has a special place in my heart. This issue marks a moment of distinct change for me, both personally and professionally. We are also proud to announce the 2008 Paradigm Novel Contest, which will be judged by bestselling novelist Raymond Benson, author of Sweetie's Diamonds and books in the official James Bond series. Go here to find out more. The deadline is July 31, 2008! I think I speak for everyone at Rain Farm Press when I say that The Elliott Issue is as strong as anything we've produced.
