"We are searching for character-driven fiction with sharp and edgy plot lines, and are particularly interested in materials that would appeal to boys, although we are open to all YA queries. Word count 30,000 - 40,000."

And yes, some thirteen- to fifteen-year-olds can write that much.

I think you meant "read," but yes, I'm 15, and I finished my first novel at 12 and had been writing before that and since that, so yes. That sounded sort of insulting.

Thanks for sharing the link. Too bad they're not considering YA non-fiction. Sigh!

Hi Mammamaia,

Totally of the topic, but I haven't visited this forum in a while and happened to see your name. I wanted to thank you for your earlier suggestion ref a title for my YA career guide. It fits perfectly!
