Content

We are hard at work behind-the-scenes at Electric Spec. We are especially busy going through slush. The submission period for this issue was October 16, 2021 through January 15, 2022. We will contact all authors by ~February 7, 2022--at the latest. Notice this is a 4-month window maximum. Most authors hear from us sooner than 4 months.
Once in a while, we get an email asking what happened to a story submitted many months ago. I'm sorry to say if you haven't heard within 4 months, we did not get your story. Resubmit.

We are currently accepting submissions for the marvelous May 2022 issue, so perhaps you'd like some suggestions for story content.
We like fantasy, from classic swords & scorcery & dragons, to contemporary fantasy, to snarky urban fantasy.
We like science fiction, especially stuff involving time travel, mind-bending AI/computer stuff, quantum fiction, and cli-fi.
We don't get enough steam-punk and alternative history: send us some!
We enjoy spooky, creepy horror. Give us goosebumps, or make us rethink reality. We do not enjoy gory horror with murder, rape, or brutalizing other people.

Thank you for your submissions!

Next week, I'll give you a report from our Production Meeting.
