CRAFT Novelette Print Prize A project of CRAFT (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (February 2026). We provide the following information as an archive. About The novelette occupies a unique and enigmatic space in the literary landscape. Too expansive to be confined by the brevity of a short story, yet too concise to fully embody the scope of a novel or novella, the modern novelette stands on its own as a bold and ambitious form. But within its constraints lies the opportunity for daring experimentation. We dare you to embrace the challenges and idiosyncrasies of the form and then send us your most mesmerizing novelette for consideration.
