Well, a novel can be any size. Some novels are only a little over a hundred pages, like the Awakening, and then others are over a thousand pages, like Les Miserables.

I've looked at many sites, and they all seem to agree that an average first novel is somewhere between 80,000 to 100,000 words.

~It depends entirely on the size of the page, the size of the print and the size of the margins. Content has nothing to do with it.

novella: 17500-40000
novelette: 7500-17500
short story: less than 7500 words

it has an ending unlike a short story with no charaters with no depth and the story could continue and just does not
