To get a novel published you normally have to write a your novel first. Books have been getting shorter. Paper is more expensive. People's attention span is shortening. Still, a long book will sell if it's good.
Most agents want a book about 70,000 words or so. That equates to about 350-400 manuscript pages, which will end up about 300 published pages. Sometimes you can put two short novellas together into a longer one.
But don't worry about that at this point. Write the story you want to write. The important thing for us as writers is to write. Nothing can happen if you don't write.
To move writers' careers along is what I am saying helpful?
