What's a good market for experimental novellas?

+5
−0

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 believe Tor has open novella submission windows. Not 100% certain, but that's who I'd check first.

Do you have any experience with them or why would you check them out first / recommend checking them out first?

Some friends have subbed to them. They're a big publisher, so legitimate. "Check first" meant "Take a look." It might be exactly what the OP needs in terms of a publisher. OTOH Tor is focused on spec fic I believe. Not, e.g., romance.
