Lightbulb Novels Vs Novellettes

Sorry for posing such a generalised question but;

I love writing and to think that others enjoyed reading my work would be a great reward. My dilemma is that I seem to be able to write short stories/novellettes with ease, about 2500-3000 words. And I think I have created quite an interesting World with interesting characters.

I've never sent anyhting off before to agents/publishers or even competitions, so my writing standard will more than likely not be up to standard. (And besides I wouldn't know where to begin with this process!)

My question is are publishers interested in books of short stories set in one World or do they want big novels?? Is it more difficult to succeed in the short story area?? (The subject area being fantasy and sci-fi for an adult audience)
