I've never counted, but I'm seeing more and more as time passes because publishers are asking for them more #AskGZLA

Lady Rachael, of House Targaryen. @RachaelEWrites

Prologue or no? I know some agents hate them, but what if it helps the story long? #askgzla
Replying to @RachaelEWrites

As long as you've read well in that category (and either know what you're doing or are willing to learn!), then go for it! #AskGZLA
