âAnonymous. There are no hard-and-fast rules on how long or short a chapter needs to be. It could be three pages. It could be 22. It could be 40. You shouldnât set manuscript guidelines for yourself on chapter length.
Generally, a novel has approximately 250 words per page. Chapters can be as short as 20, and as long as 40-50. It all depends on the writer/author and the novel. Some are less, and some are more. The editor works directly with the printer to set up the format and pages. Some have different preferences.
