I don't have a problem with 60K books, but some agents think they're too short.The Rejecterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087643296072075641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-19864338310806180112008-02-05T15:58:00.000-05:002008-02-05T15:58:00.000-05:00200,000 words.

Holy Guacamole!!!<BR/><BR/>Because of investment considerations, I've heard it preached that first time novelist should try to keep their novel in the 60-90K range. That still holding true in general?<BR/><BR/>Thanks in advance.Rick Bylinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493557860835710721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-4722217858021318342008-02-04T20:44:00.000-05:002008-02-04T20:44:00.000-05:00This is the skinniest of links to the Shogun quest...This is the skinniest of links to the Shogun question, but what the heck--I'll shoot. My women's fiction is out on partial to several agents (yay!), but I recently (ahem, last night) decided to go ahead and trim out a couple of characters, and now I'm at about 63K words (from closer to 75K before). I am planning on adding some fresh work to some of the remaining characters, but not sure how long it will end up as a result. <BR/><BR/>My question is--is it too short for the genre now, at least for a first time author? <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
