I have read many different word counts for middle grade and young adult. They are all over the place.
Today I got an email from amazon with middle grade books. They were award winners and debut novels. At renlearn I found the word counts:
74k
51k
81k
Anecdotal I know but do you think that middle grade novel word counts is going up? I believe the first Harry Potter was MG and 77k. so I am confused.
Okay, the truth is that I'm afraid my MG WIP is too short. I think it will come in between 40 - 50k. and am worried it's not enough. I am obsessed with word count. Help me. Thank you.
