Your opinions please

It is possible - depending on how much character studies you put into the book before you start writing. It should take you a month or two in order to prepare for writing. Also you will need at least one or two good backstories or subplots to keep the whole thing going. And by all means, make sure the book is a stand alone. No publisher is going to buy a trilogy from a new and untested author. They are going to buy ONE book. If it tanks, they don't owe you two more. Of course, if it is a hit, you have more bargaining power for the other two and can get more money for them. Never use the word "series" to a publisher or agent, it scares them away. Pax-C
