Editor's Notes

  1. Ask for 5 people to read their stories.
  2. When the ghoul’s face melts off his skull, or the warrior feels the agonizing fire of his belly wound, it is done in such vivid detail and with such rich language, readers are compelled to believe it is happening right in front of them. Or better, that it is happening to them.
  3. Show the readers what the scene is like by giving them something to attach to. What can they see, touch and smell? How do they know something is scary or beautiful. Describe the character’s actions to show his/her emotions.
  4. Read the introductions to There Eyes Were Watching God and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
