This is one of the most common questions I get, the answer is… it depends on your topic. For most nonfiction books, a solid range is 20,000–50,000 words. That’s usually enough to clearly teach something, solve a problem, or guide your reader to a specific result. But here’s the key 👇Longer does NOT always mean better. I’ve seen shorter books perform really well because they are: - Focused - Easy to consume - Straight to the point If your book delivers a clear transformation or solves a specific problem, people will buy it...regardless of length. That said, there’s a business side to this too… 💡 More pages = higher printing costs Which means your royalties can get squeezed if you're not paying attention. 👉 If you want to run the numbers yourself, you can use Amazon’s calculator here: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/royalty-calculator PRO TIP: During formatting, you can strategically adjust things like: - Font size - Line spacing - Margins This can help reduce page count (and printing costs) while still keeping your book clean and professional. At the end of the day, don’t focus on hitting a specific word count—focus on delivering value. That’s what actually sells books 💰
