: Re: How to go about breaking up a looooong YA story? A while ago, I played around with a short story idea in a genre I don't normally write (Young Adult fiction). The story took on a life

The first thing I would do is see what the normal length for a YA book is. It seems to me they are around 50k to 60k words. They can be much longer, but you have to be established. Even the first Harry Potter book was a fairly normal length of the genre.

Once you know the normal length you can shoot for the first book to hit around that mark, then go from there.
