Question: if short stories are 10,000 words or less and novellas are anything over that, then how would we nominate stories in Hot Dish, which is a short story anthology dedicated to shorts over 10k. Is anything over 10k still a short story if an anthology classifies it that way?

#3

All the stories in Hot Dish are considered novellas for the purpose of the Cóyotls. In other words, it doesn’t matter what the publisher calls it – you go by whatever Cóyotls category corresponds to that word count.

Thanks for clarifying that:)
