Description: 

Most professional editors and textbook writers try to maintain an average sentence length of 15 to 20 words. This ideal size range is based on chunking and human memory principles, and some sentences will be longer than 20 words. In academic texts for example, you may have sentences of 30 or 35 words.

Try to join short sentences (less than 10 words) to neighboring sentences with a coordinating or a subordinating conjunction.
