How many pages should a manuscript be?

It depends on the font you are using, of course, but in general, 250-300 words per page. Therefore, a 55,000 word book should be about 200 manuscript pages. A 100,000 word book would be about 400. Editors like 12 point font.

Can a publisher steal your book?

Most publishing entities are honest, but some do steal. If even one entity is essentially dishonest, it must steal books on a regular basis. That means it will steal not just one book, but many books — and these books must be making a profit for the entity, or there would be no motivation for theft.

How many pages is 50000 words?

If you’re thinking bigger and wondering, for example, how many pages is 50,000 words, simply divide your target word count (50,000) by 500 (since that’s the average words per page). Your answer here is 100 pages. Don’t let those commas instill fear.

What does a 50000 word book look like?

A standard typed manuscript page (i.e. what you type, before it’s a book page), with 12pt font and one inch margins is about 300 words. A 50,000 word manuscript is about 165 pages. You’ll notice that book prices are pretty similar across the board. For an adult hardcover novel, it’s about $25, give or take a nickel.
