  1. @lavendartime my suggestion then is to read a bunch of literary SF (like THE JANUARY DANCER by Michael Flynn) to check for editorial style
  2. @mesummerbooks Thank you! Cheers! *waves*
  3. @kiersi thank you! Happy Friday!
  4. @lavendartime what's the genre?
  5. @lavendartime oooo that's a tough one. Hire an editor, or go over and over and over it. Or, read tons of published books in that genre...
  6. #FridayReads Re-reading BREAKING BEAUTIFUL by @jenniferswolf cuz I'm craving edgy contemp YA mystery and this is the best! #biased #fangirl
  7. @Randy_Sexton sure! 40K is fine for MG
  8. @JLSelby @ElysiaWhisler woo HOO! *waves* *thanks*
  9. @AnnaMCAydelott and Flying Pen might be 100% fine, it's just that I only sell to about 15 publishing houses (out of 50 orso), so I dont know
  10. @AnnaMCAydelott you could query it as a novella, but there aren't many agents who rep novellas.
  11. @AnnaMCAydelott I don't have any specific suggestions. I don't know Flying Pen Press unfortunately.
  12. @AnnaMCAydelott it could be a novella and that's an excellent idea!
  13. @AnnaMCAydelott for a young adult fantasy (shelved in the young adult section of the bookstore), it might be ok.
  14. @AnnaMCAydelott for an adult fantasy novel (shelved in the sf/f section of a bookstore), yes - it's too short.
  15. @beardedscribe thanks!
  16. @truthwriter25 absolutely!
  17. @CaliBC @NepheleTempest thanks!
  18. @AnnaMCAydelott for an adult commercial fiction novel? 70K probably
  19. @DavidZampa also, Betsy Dornbusch whose EXILE will be out next year. And GEEKOMANCY by Michael Underwood - out in July
