I've written a novella, a prequel to the novel I hope to start querying for beginning in March. The Novella has been edited, critiqued and is ready to go out into the world. My CP's enjoyed the story, it's a good stand alone, but also leads into the novel and shows how the main characters met and worked together for the first time.
Here's the issue: I'm stuck with where to proceed. If I'm hoping to traditionally publish the novel (I know the odds, but I'm still going to try) to I sit on this novella for a while? Or should I consider self-publishing the novella and working to promote it? Good sales, and building a reader base and all that would be my goal for self-publishing it.
I'm at a complete loss with how to proceed! Thank you for any advice or comments in advance.
