Word of the week: Littoral

In this episode the hosts discuss novellas! From what separates a novella from other forms of short fiction to stylistic expectations and the strategy they require, for such small books there's certainly a lot to talk about. For instance, how many characters can be included in a novella before the quality of the character development starts to suffer?
 
Join Ash and Karissa as they discuss writing, editing, and publishing possibilities for novellas.
