| Re: What do publishers prefer?
No, 100,000 words is the short end (for SF, a bit longer for Fantasy, I've mentioned this several times on the forum). 140/150,000 is fine but above that, publishers might start to worry about the costs of production. Not all the time, and as always there is no absolute template, but if you are writing fantasy, 150,000 is certainly okay. If your novel is 250,000 words long, you do have a problem... |
