Length has nothing to do with the appropriateness of a story as far as publishability is concerned.

The shortest story I know that was published was only six words

Baby shoes, for sale, never used. by Earnest Hemingway.

The longest stories go on for volumes and volumes - millions of words.

The length of a story needed for publication can vary based on the publisher's guidelines. Short stories typically range from 1,000 to 7,500 words, while novels are usually at least 50,000 words. It's important to research specific publishers for their preferred story lengths.
