I'm working on my first novel, and I was wondering how long the average YA fantasy is. I read somewhere that the average is 40000 words, but that seems awfully short. I know, personally, I pass over books that are less then 200 pages. Also, I've heard that publishers only count words that have 6 or more characters. Does this mean the word count tool on my computer isn't accurate? Should I be writing more words to make up for the ones that don't count.
