[edit] About this award

According to Article 3.3.2 of the World Science Fiction Society, a novella is "A science fiction or fantasy story of between seventeen thousand five hundred (17,500) and forty thousand (40,000) words." Fiction works which are shorter are considered short stories or novelettes; works which are longer are novels, and separate awards are given for these various categories. Awards given in one year are for works published during the previous calendar year.
