We prefer completed manuscripts with a target range of 40,000 – 70,000 words.
If we receive a manuscript that is uniquely strong, based on the merit of the writing and development of the idea, but it is longer or shorter than this, we will consider how the content may be tightened or expanded (respectively) and whether the subject merits a longer work.
However, we would prefer that you work to tighten your manuscript before submitting to us, keeping this range in mind.
