Deadline Looming and Locus

Savvy authors know the deadline for the fabulous February 2023 issue of Electric Spec is looming. Please submit your stories by midnight (US Mountain Time)! We already have a good crop of stories: Thank You!

Really savvy authors know about Locus Magazine, a monthly print 'zine covering the science fiction and fantasy field since 1968. It publishes news of the science fiction, fantasy, horror, and young-adult publishing field. At the end of every year they ask other editors about their zines. Here are some of the responses Electric Spec Editors gave for 2022:

  • Do you have any comments on how 2022 was, or any planned changes for 2023? Our longtime editor Nikki Baird stepped down at the end of 2022. (Thanks for all your hard work, Nikki!) And we are excited to be in the process of hiring a new associate editor starting in 2023.
  • What kinds of stories got the best response for the year, and what would you like to see more of? We, and our readers, enjoyed all our sensational stories. :) Please send us more spec fic mashups, steampunk, and magical realism.
  • What are your average unique visitors per month? What are your hits per month? For 2022: Our average unique visitors per month were approximately 2000. Our hits per month were approximately 30,000.
Locus is a very good resource for spec fic authors. For more info see https://locusmag.com/.
