Behind the Scenes at an ezine

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at a 'zine? Well, wonder no more! I posted some inside information over at electricspec.blogspot.com.

Being an editor is an eye-opening experience for an author. You come to realize editors see many stories they'd like to publish but non-artistic sensibilities, like issue balance, intrude on the selection process. You can't have an issue of all vampire stories, for example. Unless it was a themed issue... Hhm... I digress.

The point is, many stories are publishable and don't make the cut.

Being a writer is hard. But, it's worth it, right? :)

Good luck with your writing endeavors!
