“A novella is something that took a form that suited it and kept its tensile power from having not one word more.”
– Anna Funder.
Shorter than most novels, but longer than most short stories, novellas are enjoying renewed interest from publishers and readers. Ashley Kalagian Blunt and Susan McCreery discuss the art and craft that shape a successful novella.
Hosted by Michael Sala.
