Word counts are important for a variety of reasons, but in
the traditional publishing industry, editors have to plan issues and books, and
need to know page counts to stay within their printing budget. Also, if you
aren’t a best-selling author, editors don’t have the time or staff to add or
delete words from a manuscript to make it “fit” the format in which it will be
published.
In her guest post for the Bayou Writers' Group, Sylvia Ney provides
valuable information about industry standards for word counts in a variety of
genres.
