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.
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.
