What Defines Long Fiction?

Once a book is "novel" sized there's hardly ever any further distinction, but here at Queer Books Database we think some additional categories are worthwhile.

  • Novel: 40,000 words to 100,000 words
  • Big Novel: 100,0001 words to 180,000 words
  • Doorstopper: 180,001 words and above.
