I saw a thread about this somewhere and I don't remember where or what all it said.
What are average word counts for:
-novels
-novellas
-short stories
-and flash fiction short stories

Thanks much :)
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Ask a Therapist!
I want to beta read your novel!

Ask me anything. Talk to me about anything. Seriously. My PM box is always open <3

100 to 1,000 words for flash fiction. 1,000 to 7,500 words for short stories. 20,000 to 50,000 words for novellas. 50,000 to 110,000 for novels. Those aren't exact word counts of course. :)
  








It's easier to come up with new stories than it is to finish the ones you already have. I think every author would feel that way.
