Then, when we found a publisher, they asked me to make it 150k! That process took another six months or so. When I snagged an agent she asked me to cut it to 100k. I wrote the first three chapters and then put it aside for a year to split the old book in half and make the first part into a complete novel.įinally, while sending THAT Fireborn out to agents, I wrote Kings of the Wyld. Then I sent it out and it was rejected for being too big (it was about 250k, and most publishers want 100-150k, although there are plenty of exceptions).Įventually I came up with the concept of Kings of the Wyld. After that I realized I'd grown as a writer and needed to rewrite the first half of the book, which took another few years. I wrote a great big epic called The Fireborn that took me about seven year (writing whenever I felt like it) to finish. My 'first' novel wasn't actually Kings of the Wyld. Well, the short answer is: almost 2 years
Nicholas Eames Hi Andrea! Well, the short answer is: almost 2 years The actual answer is: more than 10.
