The end_date is the end of the period you wish to calculate as a fraction of a year. The [basis] lets us define the âyearâ in a few different ways. 1 will give us the actual year. The DATE function takes a numerical year, a numerical month between 1-12, and a day between 1-31.
A. There are general guidelines for each literary category: Short stories range anywhere from 1,500 to 30,000 words; Novellas run from 30,000 to 50,000; Novels range from 55,000 to 300,000 words, but I wouldnât recommend aiming for the high end, as books the length of War & Peace arenât exactly the easiest to sell.
YA fiction usually needs to be in the 50 to 70,000 word range. You can go up to 100,000 if your stuff is really good, but no longer than that please, no matter what. Sorry, but kidsâ fiction is so varied in terms of length, type, illustration and so forth that itâs really hard to give accurate rules.
