Genre Word Limits

Did you know that the new book you're writing has a word limit?

Each genre has an industry standard word count.

Of course, if you're self-publishing, you don't have to stick with these numbers,
but it makes sense to do so because you're not Brandon Sanderson or JK Rowling (yet!)

and you don't have built-in readers clamoring for your book.

While there are several reasons to stick within range for your genre,

the most compelling is reader expectation. 
You're trying to attract readers and you don't want anyone turned off 

simply because the page limit (or font size) is daunting.

By the way, I found my developmental editor from Reedsy.com and 

had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend their marketplace for all things novel writing.
