1. This one I know has been asked before, but I don't know what words I'd use to search for it. What would have a better chance at acceptance, a series or a stand alone? Granted I know it's the quality of the writing that counts, but what if they were written with the same quality? Would one have a better chance of getting noticed than the other?
2. I'm writing a series of post apocalyptic novels with my friend. We have everything written out on who owns what and who does what. Our plan is for us to write 1 novel separately then combine the two into one book. Basically I'm writing the east coast and he writes the west coast and the terminology differs slightly between the two regions. My question is, would it be better/easier to just keep the novels separate when we go to sub it to an editor/agent? If we do combine both how would we sub it? Do we split what they ask for in half (if they want the first 4 chapters I combine the first two with his first two and give the person the low down on which is which)
