31,575 words, in 7 and 1/2 chapters, is that average for about the normal seven and a half chapters in a book?

Question

The book is called 'What's wrong with the bible.'

Answer 1

I think it really depends on the chapters. I know sometimes I write a chapter and sum things up in 800 words but my next chapter will be 7000 words. As long as you feel that you're covering the point of each chapter well, I wouldnt' worry about length.

Answer 2

No real answer to this. For example: Gabriel Garcia Marquez's " No One Writes to the General," is about 300 pages and consists of 5 paragraphs

Answer 3

There is no standard for chapters in literature so the author has free reign to break up his book in whatever fashion he wishes.

Answer 4

Do you honestly care? "Average words per page" doesn't mean anything except how small the words are on average, plus what percentage of the page is words instead of pictures.

Answer 5

A normal adult novel generally runs about 90,000 - 120,000 words. YA and children's books have fewer words.

Answer 6

number of words is nothing. It needs to be while written and eye catching.
