We are working hard behind-the-scenes on the awesome August 2022 issue of Electric Spec.
I've been reading a lot of slush. A few times recently I've been quite confused about what happened in a story or what a story meant. I think in those cases, the author had a wonderful story in his/her mind but it didn't quite all make it to the page. In that case, unfortunately, we're going to pass on a story. You don't want to confuse your editors!
Luckily, this is an easy problem to solve. Have a friend, relative or writing partner read the story and then ask them: What happened? If your reader can't tell you, you probably need to put more on the page. (We've all been there.)
Good luck with putting it on the page!

Hello ES Magazine. I've been trying to submit a short story using several different iterations of 'submissions at electricspec (dot) com', including submissions at electricspec (dot) com, submissions@electricspec.com, submissionsatelectricspec.com, submissions at electricspec.com etc. It's likely I'm hopelessly obtuse, but it's also possible there's some other reason. Can you help me out?
