: Re: What should I call a short book about my life? I want to write a very short book of 100 pages. I want to put into it what I've suffered throughout my life: Hardships, failures, disappointments....
First of all, is this a short autobiography? Or a work of fiction with a protagonist based on yourself? In the first case, I would jsut call it a short autobiography.
If this is to be fiction, than you could use one of those terms.
This question and the one linked from it give some standards for terms based on length, but you already know how large you want the work to be. I wouldn't worry about the terminology. Would you be doing anything different if you called it a "novel" vs a "Novella"? Write it at the length it seems to wok best, and then if you need a term when posting it or marketing it, you can pick one based on the descriptions in the other questions.
