The Best Novelette Hugo category is one of the long-time stable Hugo categories. It was first used in 1955 and 1956, dropped in 1957 and 1958, merged with the other short fiction categories into Best Short Fiction from 1960 to 1966, returned in 1967-1969, dropped for 1970-1972 and finally returned permanently starting in 1973.
The category is for fiction in lengths longer than the Best Short Story category and shorter than the Best Novella category: 7,500-17,500 words. See Hugo category boundaries for a discussion of some of the finer points of defining Hugo categories.
