CV stands for Curriculum Vitae. A CV is usually used for university-type (academic) positions and includes some combination of the following: education, academic/teaching experience, field experience, articles and publications (think tenure--publish or perish), special skills, conferences and conference presentations, professional projects and committees, honors and awards, professional affiliations and community activities, and references. As with resumes, there are different versions and you need to find the one that gets your skills, education, and experience across in the most effective way while still meeting the requirements for a CV.
It can be longer than a resume because people who apply for positions where a CV is needed are usually very accomplished in their field(s). If you write non-fiction and say you are credentialed, someone is probably going to want to see your CV as proof because it will list all your achievements. Also, maybe for some fiction CVs will be requested because they work with writers who get MFAs, which is a good credential to have to write fiction if you have the talent to match.
