Life update… aka the most adorable reason to press pause on your #querying journey 🥰

#writingcommunity is there any room in tradpub for a truly standalone epic fantasy debut? Cos all the advice about wordcount works fine for series but like Priory = 250k+, Jonathan Strange ~300K, Elantris = 190k+, Tigana ~200k. Must we all write series just to stand a chance of breaking thru? #sff
