Michelle--I checked with my agent to be sure. I wish it weren't so, but this seems to be old information, even though the NEW YORK TIMES date is recent.
Britton--Length depends on what you're writing. There is no formula. Novels are usually at least 150 pages, double-spaced. If yours is single-spaced, you're just about there!
Hello Mrs. Levine,
I and my friend are writers and we've read Writing Magic over a hundred times. It even inspired us to create a Creative Writing Club in our school. Yet, I only have one question...how long are your manuscripts. I am fourteen and over the summer I began to write a novel. So far it is 70 or so pages, but I'm still writing. Are yours that long and is there a formula to find out how many pages that would be in book form?
Thank you for your help,
Britton Mills
I'm an avid reader of your blog, commented there a couple a times. Just wanted to say, I like the cover of "A Tale of Two Castles", even if it's not the final version.
I suppose that's Elodie on the front and IT flying in the background. Can't wait for the book's release this spring!
Hello, Mrs. Levine,
My name is Britton and I'm currently writing a story manuscript, now this is my most completed manuscript and I was wondering how many typed pages are your manuscripts? So far mine is almost eighty typed pages, and I know that's a lot, but I want to know what most manuscripts' lengths are.
Sincerly,
Britton Mills
