Why I think novellas aren't as marketable as they should be and what you can (and should) do to change that, plus an interview with Kristin Osani about her upcoming novella.
fully agree a novella can be tighter and more effective in many ways. one of the reasons I love horror anthologies and collections--short form horror can pack an incredible punch
It’s so funny you put out a piece about novellas right as I’m like “hmm this story is too long for a short story, but too small for a novel…ah, a novella, great idea!” 😂
It sure does 😂 I’m still gonna stick with it as a novella as I approach the drafting period (eventually) and see how it develops from there, it’s still a concept so I’m sure it’ll tell me what it wants to be once words are on screen

The universe works in mysterious ways 😂. What's your plan for it now?
