To get an idea of your page count, you can use the chart below, which includes some of our most popular trim sizes. On average, we have estimated 250 words per page, factoring in 7 pages for the front and back matter of the book, such as the table of contents, copyright page and an inside cover. Please note that this is just an estimate. Factors such as the number of images in the book and amount of chapters may affect your overall page count. Your word count can be found in Microsoft Word under the “Tools” menu or at the bottom of your document.
