Publishers often sign
romance writers to three book deals.
Three books in the same series.
(i.e. the same ‘branding’)
That’s usually a year’s worth
of releases.
One of the reasons
they do this
is because it often takes
three books or a year
to figure out
if that concept or author branding
will work.
Publishers don’t expect large sales
from the first or second book.
They realize that branding takes time.
The branding of your product/company/self
will take time also.
Consider sticking with it
for at least a year.
