novel readers

Literary audience members

Novel readers are people who read novels—works of long-form fiction.

The term usually implies habitual engagement rather than occasional reading: Novel readers tend to develop strong preferences for certain genres.

It can distinguish those who prefer fiction from readers of nonfiction, poetry, or short stories.
