Interview #392: Brandon Sanderson’s Blog: Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!, Entry #3

Brandon Sanderson

We’re going to have to face facts, though. The longer the book grows, the greater the chances of it being split. The choice isn’t mine on this one, I’m afraid. I feel I need to write the book at the length it deserves to be, even if that leaves it needing to be divided up by Tor and published in sections. We’re nearing the time where we’ll have to turn something in if we want it out by November, and while we’d like this to be one book, it might make more sense for all parties to give you some now, rather than make you wait another year to get the whole thing. (Though Orbit in the UK has decided, inexplicably, to make a new Amazon posting for A Memory of Light . Uh, that’s very optimistic, folks. But we haven’t even turned anything in to Tor yet. How do you know the page count? How do you even know what the title will be? If the book gets split, Harriet will have to decide what to call it. it could be A Memory of Light part one, or it could just have its own title, with A Memory of Light going to the final book after the split. The UK publisher for the WoT seems to know the answers already. There’s only one conclusion I can draw from this. Orbit UK is populated with TIME TRAVELERS.)

Merry Christmas, or whatever holiday you happen to prefer to celebrate this season!
