how many lines per page in word
Therefore, the editor has to think in terms of number of pages, not the number of words.. Blair Bancroft: Word Count http://www.blairbancroft.com/word_count.htm Word count: based on 25 lines per page in Courier New 12 pt. averages approximately 250 words per page.
When someone sends me a manuscript that's in 12 pt. Times I want to scream. Maybe I am an old fart, but I (and my publisher) prefer the old standard: 25 lines per page, approximately 250 words per page. I'm so used to it, it's how I guage my chapter lengths and pacing.
