Susan Hill

I’ve never written poetry. I’m not a poet, but I think the nearest you get is either the short story or the novella, in that you can’t waste a word. There is no hiding place: everything’s got to be seen to relate, and the prose counts.

– Susan Hill

Seanan McGuire

When I was getting ready for the release of ‘Deadline,’ when it was coming out soon, I decided that the appropriate way to get people excited about the book would be to write a novella in 30 pieces and publish a piece on my blog every day for a month… during a convention, a week-and-a-half-long trip to New York, and a doll traders’ expo.

– Seanan McGuire

Sarah Gadon

I read a lot about her. I read a lot of bios. I read bios about the royal family; I read this little novella called ‘The Uncommon Reader,’ which is a fiction: it’s about Queen Elizabeth going on this library bus and choosing books and reading them, but it’s so sweet.

– Sarah Gadon

Michael Koryta

Envy the Night’ was my first stand alone, the first book I’d written in the third person and I loved the feel of that, and it was different but it was also the same. ‘So Cold the River,’ I knew, was going to be really different, and that’s why I thought about doing it as a novella under a pseudonym, because I didn’t want to damage my career.

Kelley Armstrong

The first piece of ‘long’ fiction I wrote was a novella parody of Stephen King’s ‘Christine.’ I was in high school, and my version was about a kid with a possessed locker instead of a possessed car. It was also my first attempt at humour, which fell completely flat because no one who read it realized it was a parody!

– Kelley Armstrong

Jonathan Kellerman

The key to this collaboration – which we undertook after much deliberation – was to stretch creatively. New characters, new locales, new form (the novella).

– Jonathan Kellerman

Jodie Turner-Smith

I read the ‘Nightflyers’ novella and knowing that it was something that had been written by George R.R. Martin, knowing how those stories kind of go, I was really curious to see what happened to my character in the source material.

– Jodie Turner-Smith

Jenna Blum

My novella, ‘The Lucky One,’ is inspired in part by my dad and also by a Holocaust survivor I interviewed for the Steven Spielberg Survivors of the Shoah Foundation.

Ian Mcewan

If I could write the perfect novella I would die happy.

– Ian Mcewan

Hisham Matar

Ivan Turgenev’s novella ‘First Love’ is one of the most perfect things ever written.

– Hisham Matar

Elaine Sciolino

The Italian Renaissance extends beyond food, of course. Just about every major Italian furniture designer now has a shop in Paris, and Le Bon Marche recently opened an outlet for Santa Maria Novella perfumes, elixirs and soaps from Florence on its ground floor.

– Elaine Sciolino

I’m in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Jimmy Page gave me the MOJO Maverick award. I got an Ivor Novella Award for my very first song.

– Donovan
