Series and time of completion

Suppose an author submits a book to be accepted/denied by a publisher. Obviously if s/he was planning to churn a series out of this baby, s/he should warn the publisher. However, my question pertains to whether or not an author has to have completed any part of the second book to the series when submitting the first?

Re: Series and time of completion

There should certainly be a full synopsis of the second volume available, and an idea of how long the author feels the series will be - and also a sensible delivery date for book two.

As I suspected. Thanks.
