: Re: What is the recomended word-count for a fantasy-fiction book? By recommended I mean what is the standard for it to be not too long and not too short. I know I should write until I am finished

I got a response from an agent today, saying that my book, The Wind-Weaver's Quest, had too long of a word count. It is 131,000 words long, and I was thinking it was too short, especially since it tells the stories of four different characters. I really didn't think of having the amount of words being something that would keep it from selling, especially if the writing is good.

But you can see from the agent's reply that the appropriate length is important if you want to sell your book, especially as a new author.
