I am currently compiling my agent list as my MS sits with my beta readers and my query seems to have reached it's full potential. I'm about ready to go shopping! Of course, there will probably be a few final revisions, but it looks like this one is well on it's way.
I am eager to get things started on my sequel, which I already have begun some research on. I haven't started taking notes or anything yet, but since I do most of my outline mentally, I have a good concept laid out. I know I am looking at a trilogy.
My question is when should I bring this up with an agent? I didn't mention it in the query. It seemed pretentious because the books aren't written yet. The first book can stand alone anyway. I didn't think it would factor into a book deal since I was a first time author either.
