Author Craft / Sci-Fi Short Story or Full-Blown Novella?
« on: July 31, 2014, 04:05:02 PM »
Hey, glad to be back. Anyways, I have an important set of questions, and I think I trust you guys enough to ask.
I've written a short story, with 3638 words in the word count. The setting is dystopian, and there are three characters that could be described as "main characters".
What I want to know is this:
What paper publications would be willing to accept a science fiction short story? I'm sure some of you know that I don't get out much, and to be entirely honest, the only magazines I read are food magazines.
Is 3638 words too long for a short story?
According to you guys, what are the benefits of writing a novella compared to the benefits of writing a short story?
Thanks,
Shinihime
