Sanderson had grown up a fan of Jordan and, more specifically, a fan of “The Wheel of Time.”
“I grew up, when I was a teen, reading a lot of fantasy,” Sanderson said in a phone interview. “But his were the books I kept coming back to.”
Jordan’s literature had inspired Sanderson to pursue his own passion for writing, and it wasn’t long before he was pitching his first novel, Elantris . He signed with the first publishing company to make him an offer, TOR books, which coincidentally was the company that represented Jordan.
