Hey everyone,
I’m excited to get so much response & discussion going..
It’s this kind of creative energy that’s great about communities like this. I received a question about posting stories in this group - and please do. This is a great workshopping & response space - so lets make use of it.
So,feel free to work on your stories here, even those, maybe especially those, that haven’t yet been published. EL just started a blog, called the Outlet, and there is always potential for anything that is posted here to find a home on the blog, if we take a particular shine to something.
The blog is here if anyone is curious:

as always, add your thoughts below, I’m always open to suggestions for new uses of this space,

The Outlet is very nice - interesting, and well done. I'll add it to my lit. links on my prompt blog - thanks!
Electric Literature is a bimonthly anthology of short stories created by writers tired of hearing about how literary fiction is doomed. We often hear that no one reads anymore, and yet everywhere we look we see people reading—whether it be books, blogs, twitters, or text messages. Before we write the epitaph for the literary age, we thought, let’s try it this way first: select stories with a strong voice that capture our readers and lead them somewhere exciting, unexpected, and meaningful. Publish everywhere, every way: paperbacks, Kindles, iPhones, and eBooks. Make it inexpensive and easy to obtain. Pay writers. Be entertaining without sacrificing depth. Create the thing we wished existed.
This is a public group.
Anyone can see it and join.
