Guidelines to Average Manuscript Lengths. Bear in mind that to say you have a manuscript of fifty pages, doesn't adequately convey its length. It depends on how many characters-per-inch (cpi) it was printed at. If printed at 10 cpi, there will be about 250 words per page, making the manuscript about 12,500 words; if printed at 12 cpi, there will be about 300 words per page, making the manuscript 15,000 words.
1 According to the EFA, basic copyediting for an average-length manuscript would cost $960-2,560.  Many copy editors ask for $0.02 (2 cents) per word. That would mean between $1.600 for an average 80,000-word manuscript. Iâve seen some editors who copyedit for $0.005 (half cent)/word ($400 for an average manuscript).
