Chapter length
#1

So I am currently writing a piece "And No Birds Sing" with long chapters. I have been trying to figure out the best way to break them down into bite sized intervals so its easier for the reader to digest.

As a reader, what is the best word count for a chapter? How long is too long?

I'm shooting for atleast 2000 a chapter, I read somewhere that chapters in most fantasy novels were atleast that length. I have been cutting and pasting on here, trying to divide up the content so I don't have any super chapters

I stuggled with the same thing, I was worried whether or not my chapters were too short and or too long. So with Twilight heart I decided to write them as if they were a TV series. I also wrote them in a book and made a limit of 5 or 6 pages for each, you colluded try that too if you like. If not have a look at published works to find the style you'd like to take. Hope that helps

Personally, my chapters vary from 1600-2500, but as a reader, I believe having a lengthy chapter is not as interesting as a short one. It's all about personal interest, but try not to overdo it.
