Nebula Award for Best Novelette

The Nebula Award for Best Novelette is an annual honor given by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) to recognize outstanding works in the genre. A novelette is a piece of fiction that typically ranges from 7,500 to 17,500 words, longer than a short story but shorter than a novella. The award is determined by the votes of SFWA members and aims to celebrate excellence in writing and storytelling within science fiction and fantasy, highlighting creative narratives that may not fit into traditional publishing categories. Winning a Nebula often boosts an author's visibility in the literary world.
