What 1,100 words looks like in practice
- Picture one main idea and three supporting points. Give each point about 250 words and you still have 350 left for the opening and the close, which is plenty for both.
- Check the wording of your brief. "About 1,000 words" may leave some room, so ask whether 10% over is fine. "No more than 1,000" does not, so take out 100 words, often one weak example.
- Long email newsletters land in this range too. On a phone that means a lot of scrolling, so put the main link or request near the top instead of saving it for the last line.
- A blog post this size reads best with two or three subheadings. Write them as plain answers to what a reader came to find, then make sure each section under them stays on that one point.
