Novella advice please

I have my best peice almost at it's best and i'd love to try and get it published. However I have been told that novellads dont get published.

Your opinion would be of great help.

I'd post some of it online if you're comfortable with that, or just send it to a couple of people over email so you could get some advice on it. The better it is, the more chance you have, right?

How long is it (word count)?
Where do you want it to be published? A magazine/newspaper? A book?

If you want it to be in a magazine, try to find some that print your type of story. Look at their specifications (if you can't find it in the mag, then check their website).
For a book, you may need a literary agent for the larger publishing compaines. Try to find some book publishers (look in your local library and bookshoop to find books like yours, and check what their publisher is) - don't use a publisher you only found on the net. Find their website and look at their specifications. If they say they don't accept unsolicitated submissions, then you'll need a literary agent.

Look at www.writers.net/ - it has more information on the publishing process.
