Just to throw some stuffin for the discussin:
I've got me some stories that are 10,000+ words, but under 15,000. Should I:
A) shop around some shorter stories, build up some strong credits, then approach print mags (semi-pro to pro) with the longer works?
or
B) Just shoot 'em out there and hope for the very best, knowing full well that once they're rejected from said print mags, I may never resubmit again...
and in general, the idea of stories approaching novelette/novella length...
I've noticed a growing trend (or maybe rather established...) of Asimov's, F&SF, and Analog publishing more Novelettes than anything else...
Opinions, well-worded rants, and complete blow-offs accepted!
Thanks!
