A writer I know (not on these boards) is about to jump into querying trenches again. Novellas used to be a very difficult (impossible?) sell but seem to be more hopeful as options these days, at least according to some of Janet Reid's blog post, and Writer-friend would like to try querying their novella.
Generally, you don't mention other books when writing query letters, but I wondered if that would be worth doing in a novella query? Just a kind of, "I do write other things, too" type comment in the housekeeping (more professional than that phrasing, but you know.)
Complication: the other books are in the thriller genre, and the novella is literary/spec fic.
