A short story of mine has grown until it's become a bit of a monster - about 15K. I don't know if that makes it a novelette or a novella, but it's certainly too long for most of the journals I would normally consider for submission.

A superstitious dread of talking too much about my work before it's published prevents me from going into too much detail. But I can say that the story is told from an unusual perspective, that the setting is historical, and it's definitely non-realist (although it isn't genre fantasy or magical realism, either).

What would be a good market for experimental novellas? I tend to prefer print, but for this awkwardly-sized piece I'd (reluctantly) consider an ebook publisher.

I understand why you have reservations about self-publishing, but the market for novellas has always been thin.

If none of the outlets you find through Duotrope et al. suit your story, and you donâ€™t want to just publish it directly, your best bet might be to build up your professional portfolio with shorter stories, and then publish an anthology that includes those stories plus your novella.

Just go directly to ebook through amazon. You can freely market it through FB by all of the various free FB apps.

Self publish, it will result in a lot fewer rejection letters.
