Still Writing…
During my research, I noticed that novella’s are almost impossible to sell. Though, there are many “novels” that are suspiciously short… like “The Hours,” which leads me to believe that selling the novella isn’t as hard as it seems. You just need to market it correctly.
As you all know, my story was not selected for inclusion in the Sexy Shifter anthology, but I have been looking for other venues in which to promote my writing. It seems that the smaller romance publishing houses DO encourage novella’s. So, if you’re not into writing longer novels and you enjoy writing within the romance genre, you should check out smaller publishing houses.
Just do a google search on romance publishing houses and novellas, you should come up with quite a few hits. I’ve recently been sending out query letters and who knows, maybe I’ll get a bite! Though, I’m almost certain that these publishers are looking for something a bit more smutty than what I have to offer. Either way, it’s good to try and I thought I would share that information with everone out there.
So, hope is not lost for any of us! The novella is very much alive! :)
