@CortneyRadocaj Oh, sorry forgot sub genre dystopian/ post apocalypticHmmm. In that case I would say 70k or 80k, depends on how worldbuilding heavy you end up making it. If it needs a lot of world building, pushing to 90k is okay too!

@CortneyRadocaj @thekatsmews I expect to be sending Cortney a query letter, etc., in March. Specifically regarding synopses, may I ask what she likes to see in them, and what length is appropriate?I want to see your beginning, middle, and end; show me your story’s arc! And make sure to give spoilers, synopses are meant for that 😊
No more than 2 double-spaces pages!

@CortneyRadocaj @kaitylynne13 @thekatsmews Hi guys,Just wondering what the sweet spot word count is for YA?
It really depends on the genre!
If you’re talking contemporary, 50k-70k.
SF/F should generally be between 70k-90k 😊
