Question by tsiou: How many words on average is a biography comprised of? How many chapters?

Can anyone advise on how many chapters the ideal biography would be comprised of? How many words in each chapter? I know this is a very general question, depending on how much there is to write about, but I'm looking for the average so that the reader doesn't lose interest. Thank you.

You got it in one! It depends on a few factors, but I would say that your looking for around 50,000 words - about 100 pages. Biographies usually comprise of the various stages of a persons life (parents, childhood etc.) and then move into the influences and study of their major contribution.
