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.
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.
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of
worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to
eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. — JRR Tolkien
