For my first novel, what should my word count be?
Is there a higher word count for rirst fantasy novels?
The Writer's Digest blog has a good article about word count.
Hi Verna,
There is no standard word count when writing a novel and anything above 60,000 is classified as one. The best thing to do is just plan your novel and write a good story. Focus on the quality of your writing and not the length. Good luck!
