Ask Jerry
Fiction Size of writing for publication
Asked by Peter on June 11, 2020
Just finished live session didn't have box so couldn't send in question. However great session as usual.
In a one off project, how many words are acceptable. If an editor sees 110,000 against say 60,000 is there a guideline? It is with applying the guilds advice, interesting throughout, but concerned for Editors initial impression.
