novelits

Novelits is a term that does not have a widely accepted meaning in English and is not listed in major dictionaries. It is not a recognized lexical item in standard reference works, and its usage is extremely limited. In published material, novelits typically emerges as a typographical error for novelists, or as a coined term in informal writing, branding, or fan-created fiction, where its intended sense depends entirely on context. Because there is no standard definition, editors often correct the word to novelists or leave it uncorrected as a proper noun if it appears as a name.

Etymology and forms: The form appears to be built from the word novel with a plural-like -its suffix or as a misspelling of novelist; however, no authoritative etymology exists for a fully established sense.

Usage notes: If you encounter novelits, deducing meaning requires surrounding text. In formal writing or bibliographic contexts, replacement with a clearly defined term (such as novelists) is typically preferred.
