Generally speaking, traditional publishers expect completed nonfiction book manuscripts to be between 50,000 to 75,000 words. Most traditional publishers will place restrictions on an author and require that the manuscript not exceed a specified word count, unless special concessions are made. If your manuscript is on the short side, make this clear when pitching to a publisher and give solid reasons why the book is under 50,000 words.
Every word does count and careful consideration must be taken to ensure the pacing of the story and the illustratability is supported in a way that fits a picture book format. (See the article Revision 9-1-1 for Fiction Picture Books). Todayâs contemporary picture books often come in at 500 words or less. But that is a guideline and not something to get worried about if your text ârequiresâ more. The key word being ârequires.â Iâd say a word count over 1000 words will certainly raise some eyebrows for many editors.
