DREAMS IN A DRAGON'S HOUSE feedback

[jasonandrew]

I finally recieved feedback on my DREAMS IN A DRAGON'S HOUSE query.

I'm told at 73,000 words, it is a bit long for standard YA. By adding 7,000 words, DREAMS IN A DRAGON'S HOUSE could be marketed as urban fantasy. That is something to seriously consider. I think I know of two scenes that could be extended to make it to that point, but I was worried about going over the word count for YA.

I obviously have a little more work to do on this.

Do you recommend going through agents or trying to send to editors?

Well, I sold my first one without an agent, but it would've made my life easier if I'd had my agent already. The fact of the matter though was that the stars just aligned for that first sale.
