The Hidden Danger Lurking in Your Manuscript’s Length That Could Tank Your Success
Long books are bad in self-publishing for many reasons:
They are more expensive to print. (There is a direct relationship between a book’s length and its wholesale cost.)
They are more expensive to ship. (Longer books are heavier books, which translates into higher shipping fees.)
They are more expensive to buy. (If it costs more to print, and costs more to ship, the customer pays a higher price.)
They are harder to read. (With loose word limits, authors tend to ramble. The prose becomes difficult for a reader to follow. This can lead to bad reviews.)
