Hello! I posted this question in the wrong forum earlier. I was just wondering...I know there is a maximum word count of 2,500 for the first assignment, but is there a minimum word count?

Thanks in advance.

Pam :)

There is no minimum word count.

LENGTH - In the 1st Round, the maximum length of the stories is 2,500 words. The title page is not included in the word count and there is no minimum number of words.

No problem, Pam. I had just looked into that myself. Good luck!
