One agent gave me some advice that has been haunting me since I received her rejection. My story is too long for MG (87,000 words) and the protagonist is too young for YA. The story is too dark/ scary for the typical MG reader, though my own 10yo is flying through it. I know it is not a good idea to try to be the exception to the rule as a new writer, but I can't see my protagonist being much older as this will be a series and she will grow older as the books go on. Do I keep going as is, or do I revise?
