This blog has long been a friendly place to come and learn, and what better way to learn than to ask?
You have questions. Writer stuff, marketing, motivation, you name it.
ASK ME
Your questions. Your challenges. Your issues.
If I don’t know, we’ll put it out to my vast network of author friends and get an answer. Or I’ll make something up.
Many people helped me when I was starting out because I was willing to ask what I needed to know.
That shortened my learning curve substantially.

Hi Dan, I hope you are well. How long do you think a YA supernatural novel should be approximately in words?

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, 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.
