- Writing & Publishing Romance Shorts: The Good, Bad & Ugly as the name suggests will discuss writing and publishing Romance Shorts as there are so many people interested in joining the shorts community.
A bit about the short read categories on Amazon and the average word counts in each.
As it stands currently Amazon (still the main marketplace for short Romance fiction right now, though more and more authors are moving to take their books onto the wide platforms) offers 6 different categories uniquely for Romance Shorts. These are:
15 minute short reads = 1-11 pages (250 - 2,799 words including front and back matter)
30 minute short reads = 12-21 pages (3,000 - 5,499 words including front and back matter)
45 minute short reads = 22-32 pages (5,500 - 8,000 words including front and back matter)
1 hour short reads = 33-43 pages (8001 - 10,999 words including front and back matter)
90 minute short reads = 44-64 pages (11,000 - 16,000 words including front and back matter)
2 hour short reads = 65-100 pages (16,001 - 25,000 words including front and back matter)
With the average double-spaced page in Word being approximately 250 words. There are no confirmed written explanations as to whether Amazon uses this word count number, and the word count averages tend to fluctuate without warning for the categories but this is a good starting point.

Great facilitated panel, such a wealth of experience!
Thank you 😊 the panelists were amazing and so fun to work with
What a fantastic panel!
Thanks Emma, I hope your presentation went well. I will have to catch the replay!
This was a great panel and useful info given. I have yet to try short fiction but the way you all talk about it, I'm tempted
@@tamekaflemingwrites Thank you so much! Oh if it's something that's already on you radar you should definitely give it a go.
Q: what is a benefit of being in Amazon's 1hr, 90 mins or 2hour read category?
@@JanetteGellarRomanceAuthor This is an excellent question. I'm going to add this to our running Q&A document on the pinned comment above as the answer would look like an essay if written here haha.
