Awesome August issue in the works!

We are fast approaching the deadline for the awesome August 2023 issue of Electric Spec! Send us your stories by July 15, 2023!
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!
