This is an excerpt from an email Rhonda Penders, co-owner of The Wild Rose Press, sent out. They're looking for short stories. I'm planning on submitting my Vintage Rose story sooner rather than later now. It's set in 1920 New York and takes place over four 25-35K word books.
When we're talking short, we're not talking so short there's no story. There is a definite need for stories that hit the 25K - 50K range.
Another good reason to write shorts is for audibles (the old books on tape). We
have entered an agreement with a company that does audibles. I'm working behind
the scenes to get some of our manuscripts to them. This company wants very
very few full length novels - they want shorts.
Anyway, if you have a short story in your mind, now is the golden time to get
that submission in. If you've never written anything short - try it. Sometimes
trying to do something with less can be very satisfying.

Isabel, Don't you have some novellas? Sounds like this is right on target for you and Jeanmarie. I might try for one, too.
I have a couple ideas, Caroline! And yes, I agree, definitely try it! I like the shorter story, you can do a lot with them.
