How Many Pages Per Chapter?

[Winter_Rose]

Hi, I would like to know how many pages should each chapter have? I enjoy writing short stories and have done some in the past, but will be rewriting them as they were quite basic and only a few pages long. I'm thinking of doing six chapters per story.

I don't believe there is any rule, but I try not to go over five pages per chapter. I've also had two page chapters, usually three page chapters, and on very rare occasions one page, and all are not unique. So feel free to break it up however you like, as long as the continuity is there.

Best regards,

There are actually some famous, published writers that have written short stories which are so short that there are no chapter divisions, in some cases. The chapter divisions are really for convenience, if there is a natural break in the narrative.
