| writesonwater | Posted – 12/10/2007 2:06:47 AM | show profile I'm interested in getting some numbers on the lengths of nonfiction books. Anyone in publishing or an author or just someone who read something somewhere once? |
| dribbledrive1 | Posted – 12/10/2007 3:19:49 AM | show profile The typical length for most books is about 80,000-100,000 words. |
| writesonwater | Posted – 12/10/2007 3:58:13 AM | show profile Thanks, Dribble. Is there anywhere on the net where it lists the number of words in books? It seems like one project I'm working on is going to come in somewhere around 65,000 - 75,000, and I'd like to see what else is around that length. |
