Ben and Marie discuss reviews left for Whitby After Dark by Stella Coulson as well as the topic of Short Form Fiction with the author. Novellas and novelettes are gaining in popularity with the rise of kindle and other e-readers (especially since Hugh Howey's breakthrough tale WOOL) and people are so busy that they just do not have the time for a novel. We also live in a "quick fix" society and may be witnessing the shorter attention spans, at least that is Ben's belief.
What influenced indie author Stella Coulson to begin writing short form fiction? What are her thoughts of the rise in its popularity? Does she see a downside to writing a short story? Listen to this week's episode to find out!
