Book length is important. There are a few interesting categories I have not explored: Low-content books, for example, are books in which you might write. Calendar planners or diaries or the like, those would be examples.

I’m sure there is a category for ‘thin books’ but I don’t know much about it.

When I wrote, I simply followed standard length guidelines. My work is actually a little sparse at 60,000+ words but it is an acceptable number. Sci-fi usually goes 90,000+.

Thanks. And I already see a mistake I was making. I was looking at the number of pages in my novel. I should be looking at the number of words instead.
