Do you intend being a little more patient second time around and trying to publish this the conventional way via an Agent?

If so, you should consider having this second book stand on its own feet. I suspect your referring to it as a 'sequel' will hold little appeal to an Agent unless the already self-published first book has sold many thousands of copies.


Good luck, whichever route you choose.

To be honest bufty it wouldnt make any sense to have it standing on its own feet regarding the plot and the like.

Also I have had three publishers interested in the first book since its release
