Advice needed - if pitching an agent, when you have several books written, would you recommend just pitching one or several in the same query letter?
I just came out as a fiction writer today via new author pages on Facebook and Instagram, and while it is exciting, it is also absolutely terrifying.
I started my first novel, when I was pregnant with my 3rd son, and he's about to start high school. My oldest son is now in college, but my youngest son starts school this year, so it is finally time to seek publication after more than a decade of writing, rewriting and editing.
My first young adult novel turned into a five-book series, which then became part of a greater St. Augustine collection with four extra books that interweave with the original characters, but each can stand on its own.
I then have several additional novels written, but as always I'm constantly editing and improving on all of them, reading and educating myself, then editing again...but it's time.
What would you do? Pitch the first book or the series? The collection? And what about the other books not in the collection?
