But I can see the sense of waiting until the agent is sold on the first one before mentioning it's part of a series. Unless you can give them a hook, a reason why a series is better than just one novel (i. e. the series fits into a genre in which readers prefer a series - science fiction, fantasy, mystery). I'm not an expert by any means though so more than anything I would go with my gut instinct.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679485132057382813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012788981971413608.post-40680580901429837172009-06-23T19:20:32.445-07:002009-06-23T19:20:32.445-07:00Hello, MKDB.

THEN you can spring your master plan on them. But your first book has to stand all on its own.<br /><br />Nice blog you've got here. I'll be back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
