Does Size Matter?

Is bigger really better?  Or is it all in how that short length is used? Five years ago, the most popular sized book being bought at Ellora’s Cave was the quickie – short stories under 10K words that sold for less than $4. They sold by the bushel. Ellora’s Cave is a lot of things,
