Anyone have experience releasing series/parts?

[JT Woody]

I originally set myself the publication date for Part 1 of May 1st (and Part 2 possibly in August, and the last one in the fall)

The editor who edited the first book suggested publishing next year and releasing them all either together in a box-set or rapid releasing them with no more than a month between.

I have some doubts, but i also dont want to be argumentative or "difficult", so i didnt say anything about it.....

So i was just wondering if any of you had experiences or insight into this?

No experience, but as a consumer, I'm going to be more likely to buy more books in a series if they're there for purchasing in the immediate than I am to remember to check back later when the sequels are released. I'd imagine too that somebody who's into series will be more likely to choose one of those than a stand alone novel, all other things being equal.

Beyond that? No clue. I feel like I'd release them all together if I had them written, though.
