Dawn---we didn't submit a synopsis for a sequel. And I know Vee didn't come up with a synopsis until multiple editors were vying to acquire her first novel. So I don't think it has to be part of the submission package (though I think it's not a bad idea, especially if your book on sub is a planned series!)
This happened to my friend. The agent came back and said the editor asked if this could be a series. Agent asked writer who said, "I never thought about it." Agent said, "If you can write up a synopsis for book 2 and 3, we could get more $, selling it as a trilogy."
So she wrote the synopses and 2 week later, the trilogy sold for 750k.
Yeah...I'd get on that Rosie....
I meant for intersted editors. Not initial sub.
Ahh, gotcha. I thought you meant putting the synopsis in with the initial sub package (which a lot of people do as well).
Rosie--sounds really, really good! Best wishes for you!
Yeah I'm not even thinking about anything but book 1 now lest I get ahead of myself in awful, awful ways
THIS!! Selling ONE book is hard enough. I have a saying, (which comes from experience, and has got me through this crazy train so far)..."It'll all come to nothin'." Everything else is gravy.
Oh, the irony. The closer we get to success, the truer that cruel little admonition seems.I have a saying, (which comes from experience, and has got me through this crazy train so far)..."It'll all come to nothin'."
Changes underway now on the graphic novel presentation. Will there be a third trip back to the drawing board? A fourth, a fifth? Hey, a fifth -- that reminds me, I'm sure I've got a bottle of vodka around here somewhere . . .

I bent Murphy's Law: If something can go wrong, it's already happened, and we're just too stupid/stubborn to realize it.

Hello all,
Officially on sub now, so I thought I'd drop in and soak up the hell-vibe.
Congrats to the folks with good news!
I imagine this will be a crickety kind of week, what with the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday eating the week, from Wednesday on.
