The Hidden Danger Lurking in Your Manuscript’s Length That Could Tank Your Success
They are harder to sell. (It is difficult to get customers to pay $22.95 for a 600-page book. But, you can get customers to pay $13.95 per book for three 200-page books if you market them as a series, and double your potential revenue in the process.)
In fact, if you dissect the strategies of successful self-published authors today, none of them succeed financially by writing one long book. They all have multiple books on the market.
In my experience, 200 pages or less is the ideal length for a self-published book. If your writing won’t fit in 200 pages, then you need to edit it down, or split your book into two or more volumes.
