Novelette

From Encyclopedia Jr, free information reference for Kids

A novelette (or novelet) is a piece of short prose fiction. The distinction between a novelette and other literary forms, like a novella, is usually based upon word count. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America Nebula awards for science fiction define the novelette as having a word count between 7,500 and 17,500 in length.[1]

The terms novelette and novelettish can also be derogatory, suggesting fiction which is "trite, feeble or sentimental" (Chambers Dictionary).
