SO I got to googling. Here's the deal, most people online are going to say that your young adult book should be around 50,000 to 80,000 words. Anything over 100,000 is apparently wayyy too long. Yeah, okay...but the issue with that is the fact that most popular young adult novels tend to hover around 100,000 +/- 5,000.
Page Counts. In most cases, industry standard preferred length is 250 words per page... so a 400 page novel would be at about 100,000 words. If you want to see what size book is selling in your genre, take a look on the shelves. If the average length is 300 pages, you're looking at a 75,000 word manuscript (approximately) One reason it's harder for a new author to sell a 140,000 word manuscript is the size of the book. A 500+ page book is going to take up the space of almost two, 300 page books on the shelves.
