I finished my first novel(?) this weekend!
(Yay!)
I still have a lot of editing/rewriting to do, but I am at around 42k words (obviously no "War and Peace").
In the opinion of ye the learned, is this enough to be considered, or should I try to add another 20-30k?
I originally had 35k, and have filled in some back story, but I think the tale is pretty well told. I may be able to add another 5-7k on one character.
What do publishers look for as far as word count goes?
Am I worrying too much about this?
