EQMM + AHMM will occassionally publish novellas up to 20K
word length
(roughly 80 book pages), but they won't publish many of
those--and usually reserve that for well-known writers.
Being a bit of a smart aleck, I'd like to ask some of the
nonwriters here to guess what the above magazines would pay
for a longish story
(say 6000 words). I think the answer might be a bit shocking,
especially since there was a time during the early pulps when
writers could sustain themselves with short stories.
