How many words are in a standard paperback novel?

I think that a novella is generally considered 90,000 words from what I understand. However, I couldn’t find this in the site search and given the number of people who have previously asked about titling books, etc, I figured somebody must know. Thanks in advance.

Answer #1

Well, if you follow the publisher’s recommendations of margins = 1” all around, and font = Times New Roman, size 12, an average novel runs about 250 words per page. The average page number is about 350, so 250x350 = 87,500

Answer #2

The few I have read where around 300 pages, so I concur.
