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.
Page size, margins, breaks and typeface vary greatly. In order to have an average, there would have to be standards, which there are not. The standard manuscript format is one inch margins all around on an 8.5 x 11 page with 12 point Times New Roman, double spaced. Word count for such a page is approximately 250.
