Hi everyone!
I have a question about writing a query letter for my latest manuscript. I've written a SF/F novel in three parts (for a few reasons). It's over 300K words, each part 100+. I'm not really sure how to go about it in a query letter. Do I inform the agent or publisher that it is a triolgy and all three parts are needed for the story to be complete or should I shop it around as one large manuscript that could be seperated into three parts.
I'd much rather see it as a trilogy obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have written it this way, but I have a feeling it would turn agents or publishers off knowing that it's the typical Science Fiction/Fantasy trilogy.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Thanks
