A novella is short novel or a long short story and typically ranges from 20, 000 to 50, 000 words, which translates to about 100 to 200 pages, depending on formatting, font size, and other factors like page layout. Novellas offer a focused narrative with fewer subplots than a novel and a more direct approach to storytelling.
