New writers tend to assume that a chapter must be a certain set length in order to maintain the average novel length of around 80,000 â 95,000 words, but in truth, chapters can be as long or as short as you need them to be. There is no formula.
The average adult novel runs approximately 100,000 words while those in other categories run 80-120,000 words. Every category will have an average length, including childrenâs books, young adult, business books, etc. You can use comparable, successful books as models to determine the length you book âshouldâ be. An ebook could be 3,000 words or as long as a full-length book.
