But if you're hoping to sell a series at once, you need to be able to write blurbs for each, and sometimes a synopsis for each. But for first-time authors, most publishers will take book one and see how it sells before buying more books in the series.Jill Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943570354349667196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-75778508488154354652013-07-24T02:01:52.779-05:002013-07-24T02:01:52.779-05:00Thanks for answering that, Leah! :-)Thanks for answering that, Leah! :-)Jill Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943570354349667196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-38936214700841587452013-07-24T02:01:17.040-05:002013-07-24T02:01:17.040-05:00Oh no!
