It's not always clear-cut, but generally, a short story becomes a novella when it starts to exceed around 7,500 to 20,000 words. It depends on factors like the complexity of the plot and character development.

The line between a short story and a novella can be blurry. But if a story grows in length and scope, providing a more comprehensive exploration of themes and characters, and reaches around 15,000 to 40,000 words, it might be classified as a novella.

2024-11-05 14:08

The distinction between a novel, novella and short story is important in literature. A short story is a brief literary work that may focus on a single incident or character. It is typically much shorter than 32000 words. A novel is a long and complex work that can cover a vast amount of time and space, and is usually longer than 32000 words. A novella, however, is an intermediate form. It has more room for development than a short story but is not as expansive as a novel. Given the 32000 - word count, it is more likely to be classified as a novella as it has the space to develop characters and a plot more fully than a short story but is not as long - winded as a novel.
