It used to be a truism that the science fiction genre was very well suited to the novella form.  The arguments for this were pretty sound and logical: before the author could really let his or her plot unfold, thay needed to ground the reader in a world that was likely extremely different from the reader's own.  This could take a bit of time, and ( Read more... )

Hey, Congratulations!

I've been thinking about pitching them a series of short stories that would totale about 50-60, so that sounds doubly good to me ;o)

Thank you!

And I recommend them. They are quick to reply and I've heard good things about them (including in this comment thread). I'd be totally honored to share a lineup with you.

Congrats on the upcoming publication. I like the novella a lot, both as a reader and a writer. Our upcoming book, the M-Brane SF Double, consists of two approximately 30K-words novellas. If this book does decently well for my press, it might be the first of series of these, in which case I will be getting more into the publication of novella-length fiction.

I remember reading about the double - in the spirit of the old Ace Doubles. I don't remember if I commented, but I thought that M-Brane is the ideal publisher for these. You are one of the few places with that old-school feel.

I will definitely be following those doubles with interest... Both as a reader and an M-Brane writer!
