New writers tend to assume that a chapter must be a certain set length in order to maintain the average novel length of around 80,000 â 95,000 words, but in truth, chapters can be as long or as short as you need them to be. There is no formula.
Best Answer: Star, A Novel generally has from 45,000 words up to about 150,000. Novella usually has a word count of about 17,500 to about 40,000. A Novelette has a word count of about 17,000. A Short Story can be up 7,500, but I've sent in stories that were up to 17,000 and were accepted as a short story. I believe it all depends on who's publishing sometimes. Flash Fiction is like 1,000 or 500 and even lower.
