We are hard at work on the upcoming fabulous
February 2023 issue of Electric Spec. Right now, this hard work consists of reading all the great stories in the slush pile. We have been getting a few stories which are all
telling.
Telling is when the author narrates the story. In other words, the author uses exposition or summarizes the story. The author doesn't
show the story.
Showing is when the author uses descriptions, actions, and dialogue to let the reader experience the story for him or herself.
Different markets look for different things. Electric Spec doesn't really publish stories that are all telling. Check out any of our published stories, with showing, to see what I mean!
Good luck showing us your story!
