Quotes:

“If you’re sending out a speaker kit and if you’re condensing that into a PDF, you want a brief bio, kind of some highlights, like who are you? Why are you relevant in general? What are the things that really make you stand out as an individual and that position you as someone that has authority to be speaking about the topics then that you’re going to describe below?” (07:47)

So that’s obviously vital to promoting yourself as a speaker, is getting out there, getting footage so that they can see you in action, because that’s what they’re buying.” (10:03)

“The keynote is not to distill an entire book into 45 minutes. Your keynote is still about introducing the big idea, the topic. It should make people want to read the book if they haven’t coming into the presentation, which most people won’t have 90% of the time.” (15:59)

Step 1: Find Your Word Count

Start by opening your Word document and locating the word count at the bottom left of your screen. This number will be the foundation of your page count calculation.

Step 2: Choose Your Book’s Trim Size

The trim size of your book dictates how many words fit on each page. Common trim sizes include:

Fiction: 5″ × 8″ or 5.5″ × 8.5″
Nonfiction: 6″ × 9″

Larger format books often use the same text block sizes as these standard trim sizes, so you can use the same formulas for a rough estimate.

 Step 3: Use Our Easy Formula

We’ve typeset countless books and have developed reliable formulas to calculate page count based on your book’s trim size and type size. Here’s how to do it:

For a 5″ × 8″ Book:

• -10 pt type: Divide your word count by 400
• 11 pt type: Divide your word count by 350
• 12 pt type: Divide your word count by 300

For a 5.5″ × 8.5″ Book:

• 10 pt type: Divide your word count by 475
• 11 pt type: Divide your word count by 425
• 12 pt type: Divide your word count by 350

For a 6″ × 9″ Book:

• 10 pt type: Divide your word count by 600
• 11 pt type: Divide your word count by 500
• 12 pt type: Divide your word count by 425

These formulas are based on setting 10,000 words in Minion (a commonly used serif typeface in InDesign), with standard page margins.

Step 4: Calculate Front and Back Matter Pages

Next, consider the pages that aren’t part of your main word count. These include:

• Half title
• Title page
• Copyright page
•  Dedication
• Quote or epigraph
• Contents
• List of illustrations
• Foreword
• Preface
• Acknowledgements
• Introduction
• Appendices
• Endnotes
• Glossary
• Bibliography
• References
• Index

Note the number of pages you’ll need for these sections.

Step 5: Estimate Pages for Images

If your book includes illustrations, photos, diagrams, charts, or tables, you’ll need to account for these as well. Here’s a quick way to estimate:

• 5 full-page images = 5 pages
• 20 half-page images = 10 pages
• 4 quarter-page images = 1 page

Add these to your total page count.

Final Calculation

Combine your text pages, front and back matter pages, and image pages for your total book page count.

Calculating your book’s page count is an essential step in the publishing process. By following these simple steps, you can accurately estimate your book’s length and plan accordingly. Remember, understanding these details not only helps with budgeting but also gives you a clear vision of your book’s final form. Remember, writing your book is just the beginning. Watch our master class on having a successful book launch. 

FAQ

How do I find the word count in my Word document?
To find your word count in a Word document, simply open the document and look at the bottom left of your screen. The word count is displayed there, providing the foundation for calculating your book’s page count.

What is a trim size and why is it important for calculating page count?
Trim size refers to the dimensions of your book. It’s important because it dictates how many words can fit on each page. Common trim sizes include 5″ × 8″ and 5.5″ × 8.5″ for fiction and 6″ × 9″ for nonfiction. Choosing the right trim size helps ensure your book looks professional and is easy to read.

How do I use the formulas to calculate my book’s page count?
To calculate your book’s page count, use the word count from your document and divide it by the appropriate number based on your trim size and type size. For example, for a 6″ × 9″ book with 12 pt type, divide your word count by 425. This formula helps estimate how many pages your book will have.

What should I include in my front and back matter page count?
Front and back matter pages include sections like the half title, title page, copyright page, dedication, contents, foreword, preface, acknowledgements, introduction, appendices, endnotes, glossary, bibliography, references, and index. Make a note of the number of pages you’ll need for these sections and add them to your total page count.

Mistake 1: Not Understanding Different Types of Publishers

One of the most common mistakes authors make is not understanding the various types of publishers available. Traditional publishers, vanity presses, and self-publishing platforms each have their unique processes, benefits, and drawbacks. Traditional publishers typically offer the most support but can be difficult to secure without an agent and they have most of the creative control. Vanity presses often promise more than they deliver, charging high fees for services that may not lead to successful book sales. Self-publishing offers control and higher royalties but requires a significant investment of time and effort. Authors must research and understand these options to choose the best fit for their needs.

Mistake 2: Losing Publishing Control and Rights

Publishing contracts can be tricky to understand, and it feels easier to just trust who you are working with that everything will work out. However, there is so much you need to know! Most publishing contracts leave the rights to make changes to the book, create new editions, control how many books are printed and when completely up to the publishing company. This means that as an author, your book is owned by someone else and they get to make all those decisions. 

Mistake 3: Overlooking the Importance of Marketing

Many authors believe that once their book is published, it will sell itself. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Marketing is crucial to a book’s success, and authors need to be proactive in promoting their work. This includes building an author platform, engaging with readers on social media, and utilizing various marketing strategies. Some publishers provide marketing support, but it’s often not enough. Authors must be prepared to invest time and resources into marketing to ensure their book reaches its intended audience. Here at Elite Online Publishing, we have put a focus on helping our authors with every step of this process. Watch our video to learn more about marketing your book.

Mistake 4: Speed Over Quality

Many authors are eager to see their work in print and rush through the publishing process. While the excitement is understandable, prioritizing speed over quality can lead to significant issues. Hastily edited manuscripts, poorly designed covers, and inadequate formatting can detract from your book’s professionalism and reader appeal. It’s crucial to take the time needed for thorough editing, professional cover design, and proper formatting. Quality should never be compromised for the sake of a quick release. A well-polished book not only enhances your reputation as an author but also increases the chances of positive reviews and long-term success. Remember, the effort you put into perfecting your book will be reflected in the final product and your readers’ experience.

Mistake 5: Underestimating the Costs Involved

Publishing a book can be expensive, especially when considering editing, cover design, printing, and marketing costs. Authors may be surprised by the hidden fees associated with certain publishers, particularly vanity presses. It’s essential to create a realistic budget and understand all potential expenses before signing any agreements. This helps avoid financial strain and ensures that the book project remains viable.

Mistake 6: Lacking Long-Term Vision

Publishing a book is not just about the immediate release; it’s about building a long-term career. Authors should have a clear vision of their goals and how their book fits into their overall career strategy. This includes considering future projects, audience growth, and brand development. Choosing a publisher that aligns with these long-term goals is essential for sustained success.

By understanding and avoiding these common mistakes, authors can make more informed decisions, protect their interests, and set themselves up for a successful publishing experience. Whether you’re a first-time author or looking to improve your publishing journey, taking these lessons to heart will help you achieve your literary goals. If you are ready to learn how to maintain control, rights, and royalties when publishing your book, reach out to Elite Online Publishing!

FAQ

What are the different types of publishers, and how do I choose the right one?
There are three main types of publishers: traditional publishers, vanity presses, and self-publishing platforms. Traditional publishers offer extensive support but require an agent and usually retain creative control. Vanity presses charge high fees for services that may not guarantee successful sales. Self-publishing gives you control and higher royalties but demands significant time and effort. Researching each option and aligning it with your needs and goals is crucial to making an informed decision.

How can I ensure I retain control and rights to my book?
Carefully review and understand your publishing contract before signing. Look for clauses that outline who has the rights to make changes, create new editions, and control printing. If the contract heavily favors the publisher, negotiate for more balanced terms or consider other publishers. Retaining control and rights ensures you have a say in your book’s future.

Why is marketing important for my book, and how can I effectively promote it?
Marketing is essential because it increases your book’s visibility and sales. Without effective marketing, even the best books can go unnoticed. Build an author platform, engage with readers on social media, and use various marketing strategies like book tours, press releases, and collaborations. At Elite Online Publishing, we support authors through every step of this process to ensure their books reach the right audience.

What are the hidden costs involved in publishing a book?
 Publishing a book involves costs for editing, cover design, printing, and marketing. Vanity presses may have additional hidden fees. It’s important to create a detailed budget that includes all potential expenses. This helps avoid financial surprises and ensures your project remains feasible. Be transparent about costs and understand the financial commitment before proceeding.

How can I build a long-term vision for my writing career?
Building a long-term vision involves more than just publishing a single book. Consider your overall career goals, future projects, and audience growth. Develop a brand that reflects your unique voice and aligns with your aspirations. Choose a publisher that supports your long-term vision and helps you build a sustainable writing career. Think beyond the immediate release and plan for future opportunities and growth.
