Hi all!
There's a biography that I want to write and I've begun preparing a proposal. My biggest concern is having enough material--the subject died pretty young, and though I have access to great interview sources, I don't want to rehash material or put in filler.
Does anybody know a general range of word counts for biographies? 85k is in my head for some reason but I don't know if that'd be considered a good length.
Thanks!
