Every publishing company seems to have slightly different 'definitions' when it comes to book length. We have been asked a little about our feelings on the matter. How long is a short story? Novelette? Novella? Or a novel? What is flash-fiction? And do you publish it?
Thank you for your questions. Here are our answers.
Flash Fiction is normally a story 1000 words or less. We do not publish flash fiction currently.
Short Story: Anything between 1000-10,000 words. At this time we do not publish short stories, though we are planning some anthologies soon which will accept short story submissions.
Novelette: Works of fiction between 10,000-30,000 words. We do publish novelettes, but only in eFormat.
Novella: Works of fiction between 30,000-60,000 words. We publish novellas, both in eFormat and print.
Novel: Works of fiction between 60,000-120,000 words. We publish novels, both in eFormat and print.
+Size Novel: Works of fiction between 120,000-200,000 words. Most publishers frown on novels this size unless they are from a well-known author they know can make it sell. At this time we are not publishing them, though in the future that may change.
We hope this has answered your questions. If you have more, feel free to contact us on Twitter and ask away.
