Please Whitelist Us

We're still enjoying the latest issue of Electric Spec, but we have started working on the awesome February 2023 issue! We are knee-deep in the slushpile, reading stories. Thank you for sending in your stories!

In recent weeks, we've been having some trouble with authors not receiving our 'yay' or 'nay' emails. There's an easy-ish fix for this. When you send in your submission, please consider whitelisting (or approving) the electricspec email address.

Unfortunately, each type email software does this a little differently.
For example, for gmail:

  1. Click the gear icon in Gmail and select "See all settings" from the Quick settings menu.
  2. Navigate to "Filters and Blocked Addresses" in the top menu.
  3. Select "Create a new filter."
  4. Add a specific email or a whole domain in the "From" field.
  5. Click "Create filter."
  6. Check "Never send it to Spam" in the checkbox.
  7. Click "Create filter."

For Outlook:
  1. Click the gear icon in Outlook and select "View all Outlook settings."
  2. Select "Mail" from the settings menu.
  3. Choose "Junk email" from the submenu.
  4. Click "Add" under "Safe senders and domains."
  5. Enter the email address that you want whitelisted.
  6. Choose "Save."

Good luck!
And keep sending those stories in!
