Pretend you’ve written a novella. And it wasn’t easy. But now it’s done and you’re finished. Now what?

It’s difficult to find someone who wants to publish it. No one wants to spend money on such a little book (whether you’re a publisher or a customer). But what if a novella is all you’ve got? What if a novella is what you love? What if you’ve tried to write a novel, believe me, you’ve tried, because everyone you know thinks you should just write a bestseller and be done with it, how hard could it be? But no. A novella is better. Is that what you feel? A novella is perfect, perched between prose and poetry, allowing the reader (not to mention the writer) plenty of space and time to think about things.

But now that you’ve finished it, what are you going to do with it?
