What is the minimum number of pages for print?

If you're preparing to publish your book in print format, it's important to know the minimum page requirements based on the type of binding you choose.

For paperback books, the minimum number of interior pages is 24 pages. This is the absolute minimum needed to produce a spine and ensure the book can be physically bound.

For hardcover books, the threshold is slightly higher, you'll need at least 27 interior pages to meet binding specifications. These requirements are standard across most printing and distribution platforms, including PubliWrite.

If you're publishing a short story, poetry collection, or workbook, just make sure your manuscript meets or exceeds these page counts to be eligible for print.
