Again, if you are self publishing, you get to have some leeway in this.

How Long Should A Manuscript Be? Each manuscript should be long enough to adequately tell its story. Thus, one could say each manuscript should be as long as it needs to be! In other words (no pun intended), tell your story in as many words as necessary—no more, no less. Of course, a printed book probably needs to be at least 100-125 pages in length. Less than 100 pages and it becomes difficult for a printer to print the title of the book on the spine. That means your manuscript must be at least 35-40,000 words long. The average nonfiction book, if such a thing exists, runs about 50,000 words; longer books run about 75,000 words.

Q&A: How Many Typed Pages = Book Pages? Roselynne asks, “I’m writing a book on the computer and I wanted to know how many book pages there are per computer page.”. Roselynne, If you format your manuscript with 1″ margins all around and use 12-point font, double spaced, it’s generally about the same as a novel. So a 300 page manuscript will be roughly a 300-page book. According to SCWBI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators), early readers should be about 20 pages (5,000 words) and chapter books should be from 40-60 pages (10-15,000 words). And most middle grade novels are in the 20,000 to 40,000 range.

A very poorly done self-published book will cost $150 – $500. It’s hard to go any cheaper than that.
