How much should I write?

by Stevie Broadwood
26th December 2014

I'm on approximately 80 pages of, what might become a book, but it's useful for me to write everything down anyway. If it becomes a book, it will be my first. Is there any minimum amount of pages advised please?.. and thank you..

I would suggest looking into books that are similar to yours. (The same genre)

Then compare how many pages those books have on average to how many you have written.

This should give you a basic idea.

Hope this helps!

Many thanks to you's, Andrew, Lorraine and Ishpreet...The nearest I got to doing any kind of book publishing, was typing for a local history author, but we're no longer in touch, so every word from you all, is very helpful.. It's actually becoming exciting, imagining, if I really went ahead with my writing becoming a book.. and at my age..54.. Many thanks again.. I'm sure another dozen questions with my name above them will appear up there, or wherever I started that first question..
