Short Stories vs. Full Novels/Novella Do shorter publications perform better than long ones? I'm just starting out and preparing all my written material, but I'm not sure which ideas I should pursue in the future. I'm operating under the preconceived notion that it's better to start off with short stories and build a small following before dedicating the time and risk to longer, more involved stories. Am I wrong? Would it be smarter to head my break into the Kindle Marketplace with a bigger piece? Any and all feedback would be appreciated, thanks!
