Your Hosts: Brandon, Piper, Dan, and Howard
Our listeners sent us some questions about writing shorter fiction. Here are the questions:
- How do you market short stories today?
- Has ebook self-publishing made novellas more viable?
- How do you structure a short story?
- How short is too short?
- Is publishing sections of a novel a viable way to get traction for that novel?
- What should I look for in the semi-pro market if professional publications have rejected my work?
- What aspects are crucial in novels, but which don’t belong in short fiction.
