Of course, this means we are deep in the slush pile reading your submitted stories. If you submitted: thank you very much! We couldn't exist without authors! We get a lot of stories submitted for each issue. This means we also get quite a bit of variety in terms of author skill... Unfortunately, we don't have the manpower at Electric Spec to give feedback to prospective authors. We do give feedback to accepted authors. :)
As I allued to here last week, writers' conferences are excellent sources of information. I strongly recommend them. A cheaper option is a local writers' group in your community. (Check you local public library!) There are also a lot of writers' groups online. Often these writers' groups are free. Members volunteer their time to help each other become better writers. I believe every author should be getting some kind of feedback from other authors. Feedback from your friends and family is often too complimentary and/or vague. Good luck finding good feedback!
Good luck with your writing!
