Read it with the GuildHow many words is 10 pages?
10 pages is about 2,750 words, at the trade-paperback average of 275 words a page. At 250 words a minute, that comes to 11 minutes.
We use 250 words a minute, not the 300 most calculators assume. A 2019 meta-analysis of 190 studies puts silent adult reading nearer 238 for non-fiction and 260 for fiction.
Words per page move with font and trim size, so treat this as a good estimate rather than an exact figure.
