My novel was published mid last year. Before the publication date I sent the publisher a sequel to the to-be-published novel - the editor liked it, but said that before it was accepted the first novel had to prove itself worthy of having a sequel. A couple of months ago the editor repeated that he would theoretically like to publish the sequel at some point, but there was clearly no plan in place to do so.
So my question is, for those much more experienced and knowledgable about publishing than myself... what factors would play into a novel being worthy of a sequel, from a publisher's point of view? Money? Reviews? Time?
