i am wrighting a book how may pages do u think there should be

I just wrote one and it's being published now and that's a question that I asked as well. he best answer is as many as it takes. It's your story and you shouldn't even worry about that. I get what you're saying though. here's the publisher's veiw. No more than 100,000 words and 75 to 85,000 is a good average. The reason is that you are not a well known author yet. The bigger the book the more space it will take from better known authors on the shelves. Anything from 250 pages to 300 would be good. But I still believe that you shouldn't worry about it. If it's too long the publisher can always break it into two or even three books. Write away my friend!

It shouldn't matter how many pages so long as it feels right to you.

280. But you should just wright the storly cause you don't know how many pages it would be. Because that depends on the size of the book and what its about.

Well if you're writing a book you have to think about your audience as well. Although some people would say not to limit yourself to the number of pages. I would say don't bore your audience with so many pages. I think that a good published and interesting book should have no more than 300 pages.

Don't limit yourself with a certain number of pages. Otherwise, you could set a limit an get to that limit and discover that you're only halfway through your story. Stories tend to take on a life of their own. Don't cage them up with silly things like number of pages. They don't often (In my case, anyway) work to deadlines or other rules like that...Unfortunatly... :p

well the longest story i ever wrote was about 15 pages, but if u want to get it published, it should probably be over a hundred. or , put a bunch of your stories into 1 bod make a collection volume. Good luck! ;)

don't put a limit on it. you might want to write over your limit. you should just go with it and be fine with the amount of pages it is.

WHATEVEr you do do NOT limit yourself to a set limit of pages while also keeping in mind that, depending on the audience you are writing for, you need to make it specific for that particular group. Just let it flow....write everything out...if you think that there are too many pages...shorten some stuff...too short? Lengthen scenes you feel really give the reader the turning point of the story or something is probably the most important

I like thicker books so maybe between 300 and 600
