Ok so I wrote this novel, 500 pages, it's about a band and flashes back and forth between present day and the band's history. It's WAY too long and sort of a mess. But I love my character's and I think at its core, there really is a good story there. So here's my idea.
Changing it from an adult book, to a young adult book.
Changing it from a single book to a series.
Book 1 would be how the band formed itself and life in high school.
Book 2 Would be the band's rise to fame
Book 3 Would be the main character meeting the love of his life.
Instead of being 500 pages, each book would be 200-250 pages.
Since most of the problems come from telling not showing, wouldn't it be easier to explain the orgins in the previous books?
