How long should you make each chapter?
currently mine are around 4000, is that normal?
Chapter lenght.
Softcakes 1000-2500 is the norm around here.
Softcakes normally, I think it is around 800 to 1500 words
1500 at a norm average if you're aiming for a premium contract here.
Softcakes No, 4000 is too long. Making a reader read that long of a chapter is like making someone run without giving them water. Split your 4000 word chapter into 2-3 or even 4 parts, so as to give the readers time to process things before continuing to the next chapter.
In conclusion, make your chapters only 1000 to 2000 words max.
