I keep hearing that readers are reading shorter things due to twitter etc, but the publishers need to catch up. And congrats on that coveted award!Melodie Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870938103759179132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-7381449854937300122018-11-26T08:30:06.970-05:002018-11-26T08:30:06.970-05:00I've written some short novels and some long s...I've written some short novels and some long short stories, but have written only a couple of actual novellas. I think the opportunities to place novellas are increasing, but primarily with the small presses. Some of the small presses are releasing stand-alone novellas and others are producing novella anthologies.Michael Brackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01072019804281421944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-43678109488760200412018-11-26T07:49:34.273-05:002018-11-26T07:49:34.273-05:00If only there were more markets for novellas.

Some want to be short, some novella length and some full novels. But I think they tell us where they want to land. Though we can, of course, try shrink them or fatten them up and that works, too. But it's all a balancing act.<br /><br />And congratulations on your new book!Paul D. Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466234708772287399noreply@blogger.com
