Submitting more than one novel

by Keith Farnish
27th January 2016

Hi all, I originally submitted the first novel of a young adult trilogy to various agents and had nothing but rejections before realising it needed a fair re-write. Now I've re-drafted this, plus written and re-drafted the second book in the trilogy and have just begun the final book.

So, my question is: how do you submit more than one book to an agent, bearing in mind they are quite different in style to reflect the different characters narrating them? I'm assuming it's a good thing to have more than just a single manuscript to offer as this would make an author a better investment,

Many thanks

If I remember reading correctly. If you tell them you have more then one book planned, even if they aren't link. You have a better chance. I recall reading agents don't like one-hit wonder writers.
