E-novellas, digital stories or short novels that expand on popular, traditionally-published YA books, have become increasingly popular — with writers such as Cassandra Clare and Lauren Oliver helping to further immerse readers in their favorite fictional worlds. The E-novellas, which often depict a smaller character’s backstory or the point of view of a character other than the published novel’s protagonist, provide a modern, innovative way to engage readers and keep them interested in long-running series in-between published books.
