Now an agent has asked me for a word count for my novel and it is high, very high. But I've worked very hard to shorten it so that I started out with 264,000 and went down more than half.
Should I mention this fact beside my word count, stated in an apologetic nature or should I keep it succinct and business-like and just state the word count?
