 Topic  Prologues? 
 Message  For about the tenth time now, I’m re-writing my story. I’m trying to do some research on how to write stories properly this time, and I’ve run across the question that I found can’t be answered really in all of the stuff I’ve read, how long should a prologue be approximately? So far, my prologue is 5 pages long, and I know that it will be a lot longer if I continue adding onto it. Is there a set limit to how long a prologue should be?

 Message  Your prologue should be as long as necessary to properly set up your story. There is no set limit. I’ve read books where the prologue was as long as any chapter in the book. mae
