The Nebula Award for Best Novelette is given each year by Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America to a science fiction or fantasy novelette published in English or translated into English and released in the United States or on the internet during the previous calendar year. A work of fiction is defined by the organization as a novelette if it is between 7,500 and 17,500 words; Nebula Awards are also given out for pieces of longer lengths in the Novel and Novella categories, and for shorter lengths in the Short Story category. The Nebula Award for Best Novelette has been awarded annually since 1966. During the 49 nomination years, 192 authors have had works nominated; 42 of these have won, including co-authors and ties. Ted Chiang has won three times out of three nominations, and Poul Anderson, Kelly Link, George R. R. Martin, and Connie Willis have each won twice out of five, two, four, and five nominations, respectively. Ursula K. Le Guin (pictured) has the most nominations of any author with seven, including one win. James Patrick Kelly has the most nominations without winning at six. (Full list...)
