In the book world l, word count is the thing that rules us all. You can change page count based on how you format it. Also, it depends on your target audience age range. If you write a book for a 3rd grader, it should be shorter and easier to read than for a high schooler or a college age reader.
Lol 200,000 word count by accident. I think by that moment, it be best to turn it into two 100k word books. You forgot to mention target audience age is also a deciding factor in word count. For traditional publishing they also have a chart for word count by age groups. When I was flopping back and forth between indi or not I asked around and one of them gave me a few graphic carts based on their companies word count expatiations. I use them when I teach my students.
😂 right? That's a Sanderson-scale writing "oops". Absolutely a big factor too, good catch! Very cool! I've seen some of those online and they're super helpful to give perspective on the size of a writing project.
Thank you for the new video :-) I've often wondered whether word count or page count would be more important for a new novelist
