How do I submit a novella?

[CHEWEY]

I have looked at the novella's on this site and they come up as chapters. Do I submit it one chapter at a time or do I upload the whole story and you seperate the chapters? I have two seperate novella's that are ten chapters each. If someone know's I would really appreciate some help Thanks CHEWEY

I have never submitted a novel or novella, but I am assuming that Laurel doesn't have the time to separate the chapters if submitted as a complete volume. In the sumission page, you can choose the category "Novels and novellas". I would submit a chapter at a time.

Mainly I would be thinking of the time constraints for Laurel. She gets tons of requests each week. Helping her out as much as possible will ensure your novel/novella getting posted quickly and efficiently.


But, where oh where is Harold when ya need him??

You can submit your stories as separate chapters -- each chapter as a separate submission -- or youcan submit them as single stories.

If you submit individual chapters, Laurl will approve and post them at one chapter per day or as you submit them if you space them out over a longer time span. (she prefers that all chapters of a novel/novella be submitted at once to avoid stories that never get completely posted.

If you submit the storis as single submissions, Laurel will NOT break them into chapters for you. The scripts that process the stories will break them into multiple "pages" of about 25Kb each (about every 3500-4000 words) without regard to where the chapter breaks/headings are placed in the story.

If you submit separate chapters, each chapter accumulates reads and votes individually, with no overall rating for the complete story.

If you submit as single story, then you'll get one set of votes/reads. Usually this will result in fewer votes because of limited online reading time.

The choice is yours. If you've already got the chapters separated into individual files, then I'd submit them as chapters; otherwise, I'd submit them in one piece.
