Sarah replied to the topic How many chapters should a book have? in the forum A QnA for aspiring authors 2 years, 5 months ago
Hi Burty, I would imagine it’s up to the author and the type of project they’re working on. I work on a 24 chapter format (historical fiction) for which there are various templates and so on. There are 27 chapter templates available as well. I quite like formulaic though as it means I’ve got a rough chance of hitting beats and so on – not fo…Read more

Burty Burtman started the topic How many chapters should a book have? in the forum A QnA for aspiring authors 2 years, 5 months ago
I have searched and searched and searched and no answer has been found.
How many chapters should a book have?
If it helps it is a fantasy/sci-fi blend of roughly 140k words.

Blog: Hello, Mr. Gaiman! I’m a huge fan of your work and I recently wrote an essay based around your book American Gods, which is one of my favorite works of all time. I wrote on the idea that labor and the conceptual perfect America had become, in essence, religion used for labor exploitation, heavily inspired by your philosophy of deification. When I read your book for the first time, I was on a long trip to a Indigenous reservation in Wyoming, and it struck a deep chord in me. This was four years ago, and as I near adulthood, I feel it pertinent to inform you of the massive impact it had on me. It was the first book I had read with adult content, which found jarring, but glad to have found something with more developed themes. One idea in particular got stuck in my head and has remained there for years: the land of America being sacred and ancient. During the worst times of the pandemic, I would go on walks and try to feel the magic of the land, pausing to note every sensory detail I could to catalog the sacred feeling of a fall afternoon or summer evening spent in nature and neighborhoods alike. That idea has become a core feeling of mine, tethering me an unkind country through my adolescence. This book gave me a beautiful perspective on the land I was born and raised in, and I thank you deeply for writing and expressing an ineffability in it. I hope you felt this was not too sappy or overbearing, and my essay did your story justice. Thank you for your time! from Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 2 years, 5 months ago
I’m glad. And the idea of the land as being sacred and ancient is one that goes back a long way before me, and I find it comforting too.
