Still Reading for Pulphouse…

Finding Some Great Writing…

In fact, it is easy to say that almost none of the stories I have been reading are slush material. Almost none. Most of the stories pull me into the story with good depth and great characters and sometimes great voice. Yet I still am sending back a lot of them.

Why? They don’t shout “Pulphouse Story.” Clearly they are good stories, maybe even great stories, but if they don’t have that “Pulphouse” feel, I stop reading and send it back and tell the writer why.

I will be through the last stories sent in from the Series Collides Kickstarter in a week and in the upcoming Pulphouse subscription drive I am going to make the offer to writers again in the stretch goals to send me a story a month. (This year I promise to not get behind in my reading. Never should have happened.)

So if you have a story in to me from earlier this spring, I will have a response to you shortly.

I have really enjoyed the writing and the stories. I have read a bunch all the way to the end and still sent them back. Pulphouse stories have a particular feel to them. No genre limitations, just feel.

So stay tuned.
