me, fwiw: in most NYT pieces i come in as close to 1200 (or whatever the mandated word count is) as possible because i know how much it sucks to give someone 4000 words to slice and dice for my book i was asked to write 70 to 80,000 words i turned in 140,000 had to cut 30,000 — PolitiTweet.org

@Vinncent i think we netted out at 110 yes it was really for readability and movement purposes — the book moves briskly and doesnt drag, which is important plus not sure if people want 450 pages on uber, but 350 seems reasonable! — PolitiTweet.org
