This is probably answered somewhere, but after searching the entire RWA site yesterday and then AW for over an hour today I haven't found it, so apologies for asking something likely already covered elsewhere and here goes.
I'm in the middle of writing a single title light paranormal romance/action novel. This is the first one for me in terms of it being light and breezy (going for a cross between Janet Evanovich and Christopher Moore), and I have no idea what the standard word count should be for something in this sub-genre. I'm pretty sure 100,000 words would be far too long, but I don't know if I should be aiming for 50K, 70K, etc. I also don't know if lengths can/should vary between the romantic sub-genres and what those recommended average lengths should be.
Any thoughts or links to where this is covered would be greatly appreciated!
