CONSIDER MORE NOVELLAS

Thank you for Douglas Trevor’s article “Consider the Novella: Making the Case for a New Workshop Model” (September/ October 2017). I love reading novellas, and I recently shortened one of my novel manuscripts to novella length. I noticed, however, that all of the novellas Trevor mentions in his article are written by Kate Chopin, by M. K. Indira, by Doris Lessing, by Carson McCullers, by Yoko Ogawa, and by Edith Wharton. Thanks for your great magazine!
