On May 15, 2020 I broke the coveted 4,000 word count threshold while writing School Bus 533 by 138 words. This was a monumental accomplishment for me. Doing so made me curious about the word count of other writers. So I decided to take a peek to see if I was in their class. And here's what I discovered.
Ernest Hemingway 500 words
Arthur Hailey 600 words
Carol Shields 600 words
Barbara Kingsolver 1000 words
Stephen King 2000 words
Anne Rice 3000 words
Arthur Conan Doyle 3000 words
Charles Hamilton 4000 words
Jerrimiah Stonecastle 5000 words
John Creasey 6000 words
Michael Crichton 10,000 words
