I've just starting writing a novel. With the intention of it being Young Adult. It's a simple coming-of-age type of story so it doesn't have a lot action or dramatic parts. I only have a general outline and about 2000 words written so far. I haven't wrote anything consecutively, mostly it's certain scenes that pop into my head and I just go from there.

My question is, what is the average length of a YA novel? Is it okay if it's around 200 pages? How many words would I have to have?

  1.  YA novels can clock in anywhere from 40-100k words, with certain outliers, of course. But in general between 60-80k is a good, standard length. 


    "You will need to have about 90000 words." -This is 'standard' novel length for adult books.
