The Enchantress

[Lady Arwen56]

This is a series of mine that I have yet finished writing, It's got four books to it, and I'm only just finishing the third one. I hope one day to get it published, and become a famous Author. But then again, many people do, do they not?

[Tessar]

Indeed, many do think it of themselves that they might write some few lines and there by become known over the many lands!

But then again, who's to say ya can't? ;)

If I were you I would go ahead and send the first one into a publisher now. A friend of mine did the series thing where he wrote the books first (it was 6 I think) then sent them in to a publisher. After 3 years of wirting all his books he sent all of them into a publisher at once they sent it back a week later saying they didn't like reading in bulk os something like that. He's been sending stuff off now for a...year I think and still hasn't gotten a yes w'll publish them yet.

Yes, it is conventional to send only the first manuscript, and pitch it as a series in your query letter. If the first one is a hit with the publishing house, it's perhaps even easier to get a series published because it means continued revenue generation.

Of course, the work has to be of publishable quality first.

I think that it's also generally accepted that you send a query letter and a section (usually a chapter) of the manuscript, and wait for them to say if they want to review the full thing; not sure about that, though.

Thanks, maybe I'll do that. :)
