Well believe it or not, I’m not the expert on young adults superhero stories!
But luckily for you, we do have some experts around here who can lend a hand.
I will defer to Allison and I bet she says something between 40 and 60,000. Let’s see what she comes up with.
Sorry, I meant supernatural, not super hero.
I have consulted with the resident expert, and she is going to render her opinion – but she requires food first.
Hi, Robbie! Typical YA is 50 – 80K or so. Fantasy gets to be longer.
Thank you, Allison!
Thank you, both. That is very helpful and I will come in around 70 000 before editing and I usually add so that is perfect. Have a lovely day.
Perfect!
