FUTURES MYSTERIOUS ANTHOLGY MAGAZINE OPENS UP TO ADVERTISERS

Publishers and book authors can now reach their prime market by advertising in the quarterly print publication, FUTURES.

In a time when fiction magazines struggle to maintain their positions, FUTURES Mysterious Anthology
Magazine (FMAM) is ready to take off. The current circulation of 3000 is growing quickly. New distributors, including Ingrams, Desert Moon and Media Solutions have placed FUTURES in Borders, Barnes & Nobles and Books A Millions across the country.

     "FUTURES could be a textbook for short fiction writing. I'm very impressed
         by the content and graphic quality. As far as I can tell, FUTURES may be
         only magazine of its kind in America."
                 - Hitchcock's favorite writer, Henry Slesar

Expectations run high for this groundbreaking, 128 plus-page, illustrated, mystery, horror, romance,
speculative and mainstream fiction publication. The magazine publishes 40 authors and artists in
each of its quarterly issues. Other special touches include ongoing contests that encourage new
writers with the "Fire to Fly" to enter their best work. Current contests involve writing the beginning
or the ending of chapters written by novelists Libby Hellmann and Kit Sloane, and can be viewed on
the FUTURES website.

     "There should be two FUTURES in every bathroom, one beside the bathtub
        the other next to the porcelain sculpture!" - Kit Sloane

Beyond adding an average of one new distributor each issue, FUTURES is undertaking an aggressive
marketing campaign to sell subscriptions, reach new readers, promote the contests, and share
the joys of short stories, in all genre.

FUTURES is poised for growth, and they are hoping to take small and genre publishers and authors along for the ride

For the next issue, prices will hold firm for advertisers. Prices are $350 for outside back cover, $200
for a full page, $125 for half page, $75 for 1/4 page and business card size for $55 and for
advertisers reserving through 2003, prices will be locked in to the current rates.

         "If you don't read FMAM, you don't have a FUTURE." - Joanne Lucas

An ad in Futures connects with 3000 readers plus the friends and family they pass the
magazine to. The magazine invites advertisers to reach thousands of avid readers, book buyers, magazine subscribers and
dedicated fiction writers.


     "This is a prophetic magazine, I said to myself, when I picked up my
         first issue of FUTURES. This magazine is about spunk, guts, and
         never saying Never." - Molly Essau
