The "standard" for book pages will vary from publisher to publisher, but is usually based on text size, margin and line spacing, not words. It typically works out to about 200-250 words per page. This is different from a manuscript, which typically runs 350-450 words per page. Something to keep in mind when doing page and word counts on a project that is starting out on 8.5x11 manuscript pages but will end up on 5.5x8.5 book pages. So 25,000 words works out to a roughly
100 page book, $10k for business/nonfiction, $15k for a novel (or at this
page count, actually a novella). That's the *middle* of the typical price
range if your client is a non-famous person.


Excellent information. Thanks, Gene.
