Writing: What is a Novella?

 Study.com provides a definition as part of the article Novels, Novellas, and Short Stories.

Novellas bridge the space between short stories and novels. The word "novella" comes from the Italian word novella, which translates as "new." Novellas still lack the space for extensive plot and character development, but the extra length gives them enough time to explore a concept as opposed to establishing a specific mood. Novellas tend to have simplistic plots and basic character development, unlike a short story which lacks lack of both. While placing length restrictions on a genre remains contentious, novellas tend to range from 15,000 words to 40,000 words.
