Favorite Answer

A novel is usually a developed story line with the main ingredients of a story timeline (Intro - climax - resolution...). A novella is kind of like a soap opera in Spanish. Very popular in Mexico. (There may be another meaning that I don't know of) Fiction includes both types of writing. It is simply a fabricated story.

Answer 2

A fiction book can be a novel, play, collection of short stories, comic book, or any other book that contains made up stories. A novel is a fictional work written in narrative or prose that is of a certain length...usually too long to read in one sitting. A novella is a shorter novel, but too long to be considered a "short story". There is no exact cutoff point to say "Well if this were one word or one page longer it would be a novel instead of a novella". There is some disagreement and it is open to opinion.

Answer 3

I believe a Novel is a full-sized book, and can be on any topic.

A Novella, I think is a short book, larger than short stories, but smaller than a Novel, and can also be on any topic.

A Fictional book is a categorization of a Novel.

I think that the above is pretty accurate, yet, I may be wrong about the Novella.

I write also, mainly poetry, but, I am writing an autobiography about a disease that I have.

Good Luck with your writing!!!!
