Novella
Length Matters
A novella is shorter than a novel but longer than a short story, typically between 20,000 to 50,000 words. 
Narrative Depth
Novellas often focus on a single conflict, fewer characters, and aim for a more focused, deeper narrative than short stories. 
Literary Prestige
Novellas are respected in literature, they can win awards and are often seen as a confluence of artistic brevity and depth.
