Aspiring New Authors Forum A publishing question

Is there a way to know how many pages your manuscript will be when it gets published?
Just out of curiosity. It's something I've always wondered

I'm not really sure, but I believe it depends on the actually formatting process itself. What I try to do in order to get an idea, and I mean (just an idea) is google for "manuscript formatting", and look around for what the general formatting default is, and then I try to replicate that with my word processor program. But honestly I really don't think you'll have a close idea of how many pages until you get in touch for the people formatting your manuscripts, cause they might have a slightly different setup.

But here are some places I've looked around just for an general idea of how many pages I have.

Another one I found online with an actual FREE downloadable word doc.

Yet another website I found online regarding formatting your "novel" to be. I actually tried this formatting suggestion on my own manuscript, and I have to say I loved the result, very professional looking. I highly recommend everyone try this out on their own work! I think you'll love the outcome.
