Adult fiction word counts can be quite different from other genres. For example, children's books are usually much shorter, often under 30,000 words. Young adult fiction can range from 50,000 - 80,000 words, which is generally shorter than a lot of adult fiction novels that can go well over 80,000 words. Non - fiction books also vary widely, but some technical non - fiction might be shorter than adult fiction on average as they focus on specific concepts and can be more concise.
Adult fiction has a diverse range of word counts compared to other genres. Fantasy adult fiction often has a high word count, sometimes exceeding 150,000 words to fully develop its intricate worlds and characters. In contrast, short - form poetry collections, which are a different genre altogether, can have very few words per poem and the entire collection might be just a few thousand words. Middle - grade fiction, which is for older children but not yet young adult, typically has word counts between 20,000 - 50,000 words, which is far less than many adult fiction works.
