Eric &mdash; I'm glad my edits were helpful.<br /><br />Right now you have what I'd call a fairy tale for grown-ups. It is too long and deep for the lower elementary grades. In these grades the kids are mainly reading picture books, which are about 1,000-1,500 words. Your book could be positioned as a chapter book, which usually reaches kids ages 7&ndash;10 years old. This is a good market to aim for, and you will reach the parents as well, though I expect most will already have considered the issues you raise, at least superficially. But your story could encourage people to look at things in a new way.<br /><br />&mdash; Kristen
