We are always looking for submissions of all kinds from talented writers, but what we haven't received much of is medium lenth pieces. We've gotten a ton of short stories (which have been so much fun to read through - thanks, guys!), and we've gotten several full length novels. However, we've gotten almost no 10,000 to 40,000 word pieces.
I'm beginning to think that maybe people just don't write novellas anymore. And I understand why: up until now there simply hasn't been a market for them. However, e-books mean that we don't have to print in larger volumes, and can sell pieces that are going to retail for $2.50 a piece. Considering how busy we all are, it would be nice to have some pieces that can be read in the span of a few hours or a day or two. Nothing against full length novels - goodness knows I love them. But it would be great to see some medium length pieces as well.
If you've got a piece like this kicking around your hard drive, go ahead and send it along to us at KatherinePress@Hotmail.com! We can't wait to read them.
