    Short as novellas are, they can really boost your skills if you write a good one. I plan to write some and see how they go. I, to be honest, wrote a novella already, but it's gonna be revised, and thus I'm not really sure whether the next version is a novella at all.
    Thank you so much for making this video though!
    Best regards from Ukraine!
    Keep it up!

    I plotted out my novel a few days ago...i spent the last 4 months reading mysteries, so i'm going to try writing one. i created 10 characters, but only 5 or 6 are vital. i figure it's gonna be 20 chapters, just about a novel range...my goal is to have a draft done by xmas, Ms. Sage 🙂

    If done right, a novella can be deeper than a novel.

    This was very interesting! I had never thought about some of the points you made. How does the editing process differ when writing a novelle?

    • @ANSageWrites
      @ANSageWrites  3 роки тому +5

      For me, the main difference is taking away instead of adding. It seems counterintuitive but a lot of cutting goes into editing a novella to keep it succinct and the pacing fast.

    This video is really helpful as I am a very experienced writer in the longer epic fantasy genre but my first novella is a co-authorship I am doing right now. So thank you! Keep writing and keep up the great work! Blessings!

    Thank you for this. It was informative and helpful.
    Is it possible for a first time novella writer to get an agent? Or would you “self publish” to begin with?x

    • @ANSageWrites
      @ANSageWrites  2 роки тому

      I believe most agents are looking for full novels though I could be wrong on this. I would double check the agent's requirements when submitting to make sure they are looking for novellas first.
