How Many Words Should A Book Be How Many Words Should My Book Be?

How many words should my book be? - how many words should a book be

The approximately 45,000 today. My only goal was 50,000, but I've recently heard, like most publishers in the region of 60,000. I hope to publish more easily? I do not want my book listed as a novel novel. What thickness and the amount of 50,000 pages is a book?
Thank you!

If publishers like at least 60,000 for a first novel, but it has not, say if the 45 is a first draft or not. Is found usually in the 50,000 as the first project, 65,000, or slightly more, to rewrite and edit. Keep up the good work.

In summary, what the agent Colleen Lindsay, blogs http://theswivet.blogspot.com/2008/03/on ... Number of words say: the sex is often sub-genre.

Young Adult Fiction: 50,000 to 80,000 words, 90,000 rare

Urban Fantasy: 80,000 to 90,000

Paranormal Romance: 80,000 to 90,000

Mysteries and Crime Fiction: A closer connection from 60.000 to 70.000, and all the other 80,000 to 100,000

Science Fiction and Fantasy: 100,000; Epic Fantasy from 120,000 to 130,000

Mainstream Fiction LIT depends subgenre.Chick 60,000 to 80,000; Literary Fiction up to 120,000, but recently the development of the much shorter, from 90,000 to 100,000 Thrillers, Historical Fiction 140,000.

Words are nothing less than 50,000 is usually considered to be new, which means that agents or publishers will never see. So you are wise to ensure that their work is too short.

6000 pages per day for 2 months. But you must follow these rules. because it is a novel for children. You may experience more than 60 000, if desired. The over 137 pages (remember that the novels are twice as high, which also expanded its 250 pages, is almost half.). well done and congratulations. I hope the list of best sellers will see this fall.

Hm. . I also write a book. I have over 119 pages, size 12 font, Palatino Linotype, and a little more than 37,000 words. As one would guess, I'd say 60,000 pages 180-200 words. Hope this helps!

I think if you have another more words .... around 47,000, then it is a "novel".
