Hey Mariah!
From my reading and experience, 100k is a good average figure! I think the minimum is about 75k, but because it’s a fantasy it could easily go up to 150k, though that might be a bit harder to market.
However, if you’re a little under or over that, it won’t make a whole lot of difference.
I hope this helped!
