Weekly Preview Update

We're still ironing out the wrinkles here at SpecFicPick and figuring out what works and what doesn't. Based on page views, it seems that the Weekly Previews on Mondays are the one thing that isn't working. This makes sense, of course; the Weekly Previews don't provide readers with much interesting material. So we've decided to drop them, freeing up Mondays for more-engaging material.

Fortunately, what is working is everything else! I've gotten positive feedback and lots of views on the interviews and the Book Features are getting a decent number of hits, considering how young this endeavor is. The first installment of Michael K. Rose Presents: Classic Science Fiction has also been a big draw. The second installment is coming soon and will feature Philip K. Dick's "Beyond Lies the Wub." As always, we're open to any suggestion on how we can improve SpecFicPick. Feel free to leave comments here or on any post/page, where appropriate.

Best,

Michael K. Rose
