How many words should be in a chapter?
Some will tell you 2,500 words is the average, while others will say that 3,000 to 5,000 word chapters are more likely to be the norm. Most agree that under 1,000 words would be rather short and that over 5,000 might be rather too long. As a general guideline, chapters should be between 3,000 to 5,000 words.
What is a chapter outline?
An outline is a useful way to help you summarize information. Your first step to understanding the chapter is to read the material. Skimming means to read quickly and somewhat superficially. Also read the first sentence or two of each paragraph. You are trying to figure out what the main points of the chapter are.
What makes a good chapter?
Think about how long each chapter should be. Short, action-heavy chapters help to speed up the pace. Longer, reflective chapters that linger over setting or historical description give the reader a breather. Longer chapters can make your story lose a sense of direction if they’re unfocused.
