multiple-award-losing novelette sounds like of snarky, John
It’s from Kelly’s website.
Yes, I should have included that in the quotes.
Honestly, I’m not sure the concept is sound. I rather pay for an ebook collection with twenty stories, that bit-sized pieces like this. Sure, you could argue that people won’t shell out that much money and splitting it into smaller pieces is smarter, as the barrier is much lower to shell out some money, but I think that only works if you already big-time famous (say, Stephen King level).
