RedHotRomance

I'd love to hear from readers on this too. do you like full length books or novellas better? the same? depends on the author? genre?

milady--very interesting comment. it's funny--i too would rather have a full length novel. however--i do write novellas quite frequently, and i like that format as a writer, so it's an interesting situation.

Interesting question, and I may be biased, but my Wolf Tales series began as a serial of 12,000 word length novellas at Changeling Press. Sales were phenomenal and resulted in a wonderful contract with Kensington. However, if I'd never sold to NY I'd still be writing those short, sexy tales because they were selling like hotcakes. Short stack, anyone?
 

Honestly, I find that when I'm writing erotic romance, novellas are easier to write. It's sometimes difficult to sustain that level of heat and intensity for 300+ pages (at least it is for me, anyway). But I also feel that with novellas the characters are often short changed and it's harder to make it plausible that the characters fall in love over such a short time span, and as a reader that's something that often bugs me.
 

I have a friend who writes the shorts and short-shorts for Changeling, and her sales are really good. I feel that I stink at writing anything less than 12k though. But I BUY 'EM - lol.
