If you go on Booksie!.com, they'll make it into a e-book for you!. So it'll let you know how many pages your book is!. I think it's made for the same length that most published books are!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you're printing it out double-spaced, in a 12-point typeface, write one or two pages in that format, and count words!. A short book should have maybe 40,000 words, so do the arithmetic to get your answer!.

You should use only one side of a sheet of paper for your manuscript!. For more style rules and requirements for submitting a manuscript for publication, get advice from an English teacher or a librarian!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You're worrying about the wrong thing!. Get the story down first!. Worry about the storyline and the proper way to write it!. I have always said, quality over quantity!. Put your best work down, and concern yourself over length later, if at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

a good length is at least 200 pages!. that way you can write alot of things and keep a person reading!. the twilight books are all over 497 pages, and they are so popular and amazing!

Just make it a strong story!.

Sometimes short stories are the most powerful!.
