Hey all,
I had a thought preparing a query letter for future use. Query letters are meant to sell your book, obviously, and in some cases the complete story lies in others to follow.
When is it, or is it even appropriate to mention that your proposed book is meant to be part of a series (trilogy, quadrilogy, what have you)? The following books are important, but you're not selling them to the agent/publisher. How much say in a letter do future installments deserve?
Let's hear your thoughts.
