| http://www.guidetoliteraryagents.com/blog/Word+Count+For+Novels+And+Childrens+Books+The+Definitive+Post.aspxI found this article today on book length. Here's the bottom line: - Quote :
- 80,000 - 89,999: Totally cool
90,000 - 99,999: Generally safe 70,000 - 79,999: Might be too short; probably all right 100,000 - 109,999: Might be too long; probably all right Below 70,000: Too short 110,000 or above Too long That sounds about right to me... the thriller I'm working on should max out at about 83,000 words or so. | |

| I've noticed that books seem to be getting shorter lately... glad to see I'm not imagining it. | |
