Understanding Book Length: Word Count to Pages
One of the most common questions self-publishers face is "How many pages will my book be?" The answer depends on more than just word count — trim size, font size, line spacing, margins, and even your font choice all impact the final page count.
📏 Quick Reference: Word Count by Genre
Why Page Count Matters for Profitability
On Amazon KDP, your printing cost is directly tied to page count. A 200-page book at 6×9 costs about $3.65 to print, while a 400-page book costs around $5.90. This difference impacts your royalty calculation — which is why formatting decisions like trim size and font size are strategic business decisions, not just aesthetic ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many words are on a typical page?
A standard printed page (6×9 trim, 12pt font, single spacing) has approximately 250-300 words. Double-spaced manuscript pages have about 250 words. This varies significantly based on trim size, font choice, font size, and spacing.
What is the ideal word count for a novel?
Most novels are 70,000-100,000 words. For genre fiction: Romance (50,000-80,000), Mystery/Thriller (70,000-90,000), Fantasy/Sci-Fi (90,000-120,000), Literary Fiction (80,000-100,000). Non-fiction books typically range from 30,000-60,000 words.
Does word count affect KDP printing costs?
Yes! KDP calculates printing costs based on page count, ink type (black or color), and trim size. More pages = higher printing cost = lower royalties unless you increase your price. This is why trim size and formatting choices directly impact your profitability.
What trim size should I use for my book?
The most popular trim sizes are: 5×8 or 5.5×8.5 for fiction and general non-fiction, 6×9 for business/self-help books, and 8.5×11 for workbooks and coloring books. Choose a size that matches reader expectations for your genre.
