Designers and production editors use a manuscript's word count to estimate how many pages the published book will be, taking into account how they want it to look: how large the pages will be, how much white space is wanted, whether illustrations will add to the page count, etc.

The average word count for adult fiction is between 70,000 to 120,000 words. For children's fiction, the general rule is the younger the audience the shorter the book, and for YA novels the average is 50,000-70,000 words. Non-fiction word counts sit between 70,000-120,000 words.

It should appear in the upper right-hand corner of your cover page, across from your name and contact information, and should read About 92,000 words (or whatever your magic number is). I also recommend including your manuscript's word count in your query letter. Put it in the paragraph that introduces your title.

So here's a real answer: in my work with academic authors, the vast majority of manuscripts fall in the 80,000?90,000-word range. Books that fall on the more social sciencey or media studies side of things may be shorter. It's not unusual for those manuscripts to run 65,000?75,000 words in length.

The average paperback book ranges from 200 to 300 pages, averaging about 275 words per page. A 300-page book will have approximately 82,500 words total. With consistency, it's possible to reach that word count by writing 500 words per day, seven days a week, for about five and a half months.

For most publishers, a book is ?novel-length? when it's between 50,000 and 110,000 words. At a writers conference I recently attended, publishing veteran Jane Friedman said 80,000 words is good for most fiction, below 60,000 isn't novel length territory, and above 120,000 is likely too much.

In general, the Safe Zone for adult fiction is 70,000-100,000, and the Safe Zone for adult nonfiction is 60,000-90,000 words. Less than that and your book is probably too short. More than that and your book is probably too long.

A good manuscript, first of all, should present new thus not previously published results, and should be well written, i.e., it should have a fluent narrative, be concise and at the same time complete, have good graphics, and also be correct in the citing of work of other scientists.

The average short story should run anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 words, but they can be anything above 1,000 words. Flash fiction is a short story that is 500 words or less.
