March 2017
This month we had a focus on unfulfilled needs and expectations. Guest writer Andrew Falconer described how writers can use their heritage to tell fresher stories. Oren discussed how important it is to seek out new settings for spec fic, and Chris delved into how The Tommyknockers fails to engage readers. Satisfying the audience is critical for any story, so we hope you’ll enjoy our advice on how to do just that.Five Underused Settings in Spec Fic
