I'll keep this as brief as possible. A few years ago, my first two books were picked up by a small publisher. The publisher has since closed shop and gave all its authors their book rights back to do as they see fit with their work. I just ended up self-publishing since the chance of another publisher picking up an already-been-out book is very, very slim.
Fast-forward 4 years later: I've decided to pull the first two books of the series and to rework them a bit. The reviews have been solid, but I'm sure I could reach a broader audience with some changes overall to help narrow the focus a bit, and keep the series more thematically consistent.
My question is-- should I do my heavy re-writes/revisions and publish the book under the same series name, rebrand it, or should I just suck it up and try to finish the series as-is even though it could be much improved with some revisions?
Thanks in advance.
