      What the hell is the difference between a novella and a novelette?

          Q: What's the definition of a "novella," "novelette," etc.?

          A: For the purposes of the Nebula Awards, the categories are defined as follows:

          Novel — 40,000 words or more
          Novella — 17,500–39,999 words
          Novelette — 7,500–17,499 words
          Short Story — 7,499 words or fewer
          Script — a professionally produced audio, radio, television, motion picture, multimedia, or theatrical script
          At the author's request, a novella-length work published individually, rather than as part of a collection or an anthology, may appear in the novel category.

            Oh lord, talk about splitting hairs.

            Back in high school I had an English teacher (several, actually), who corrected me every time I wrote "novelette" telling me there was no such thing, only a "novella".
