A novel is often defined as a work of fiction of around 40,000 words but nowadays usually comprises many more (70,000-150,000),

Novellas are defined as works of around 20,000 to 50,000 words, and novellettes as between 7,500 to 20,000 words (anything less is a short story).

Both short stories and novellettes are hard to sell to publisers in general.

A 'novelist' can be defined as an author of either novellas or novels.

Bearing this standard in mind, Daisy Ashford (1881-1972), full name Margaret Mary Julia Ashford, wrote the novella The Young Visiters: Or, Mister Salteena's Plan, published in 1919, when she was 9 years old, and qualifies her as (probably) the world's youngest novelist.

However her novella is often not recognized as a novel because it was 20,000-50,000 words long
