Length by genre, novel-length novels, feature-length screenplays

A feature screenplay is feature-length. A novel is novel-length. Voysey enforces a minimum by genre and, crucially, the minimum is measured in distinct beats, not in raw word count. That means Voysey reaches the target by adding story, not by repeating the same beat with different words.

How the floor works

• The genre of your production sets the target length.
• Voysey writes to reach that length.
• The beat-density floor checks that the beats are distinct, not the same event restaged.
• If padding would meet the count, Voysey keeps writing until real beats hit the floor.

Where this matters

• Screenplays feel like features, not shorts stretched thin.
• Novels have the pacing and breathing room of a full-length book.
• The story goes somewhere between the opening and the ending, instead of running in place.
