Who is worth talking too for Fantasy books?

I think perhaps I need to work on how long my stories are too then, because I seem to write a whole story between 70 and 95,000 thinking that 100,000 was the aimed word count.

Could what I write be seen as a novella and not a novel?

Anything over 40,000 words is technically a novel. Whether publishers who are looking for novels would buy anything at that length is another matter. If the book is written for young children they would, but it would be fantastically difficult to sell something that length to anyone but a children's publisher.

Novellas, by the way, are hard to sell to anyone.

That's a good wordcount for the US market
