: Re: Is there a rule of thumb about the number of pages a work of fiction should have? To be considered a "real" book, is there a rule of thumb about the number of pages one should have? If

I've seen a lot of discussion about this in a couple of different writer's forums I belong to, and I made a point of writing down a consensus that many of them seemed to reach. While the actual word counts will vary and everybody will have different opinions on what the count should be, this should help to serve as a general guide.

Short story - under 10,000 words

Novelette - 10k-20k words

Novella - 20k-50k

Novel - 50k-100k

Epic Novel - over 100k
