Absolute Write taken offline

Via Miss Snark: the Absolute Write website has been pulled.

Making Light has the story.

Absolute Write was an excellent resource for writers: it publicized the activies of scam agents.

It’s not clear precisely why the site was taken down. The hosting service was apparently threatened by Barbara Bauer, one of the agents whose carryings-on have been documented on the blog. However, the hosting service owner has also just revived her own rival site . . .

The good news is, according to the comments on the Making Light post, the AW owner is already making plans to have the site restored to a new host.
