DOES WORD COUNT MATTER MORE THAN THE STORY?
Recently, I received a manuscript that came in at approximately 65,000 words. Before the editor began the editing process, the author’s biggest concern wasn’t about the plot, characters, pacing, or even the ending. Their question was: “Is the word count enough?” My response was equally simple: “Are you satisfied with the story?” The author said…
