Definition: A novelized is a literary work that has been adapted or modified from another piece of literature, often by altering its structure, tone, and themes. This can include adaptations for stage, film, or television, as well as other forms of media such as radio plays, audiobooks, and online content. Nouvelment is the French word for novel, which itself means "new." So, a novelized work would be a new version of an existing piece of literature.
