Let’s talk about Brandon Sanderson a little bit. You have been working very closely with him for a few years now.
Yes, and he is wonderful.
Was there any sort of adjustment period to getting used to working with his work style versus Jim’s?
Well, there was an adjustment period for both of us. I had not been his editor before, and when he first sent in material, I was unable to deal with it. I was still too lost in grief. I just couldn’t deal for two months or so, and Brandon was just great and said, “Harriet, was this very, very hard for you?” And I said, “Yes.” I mean, he’s just a lovely, super person. It is a pleasure to work with him. He is not just a pro and one heck of a storyteller, but just so nice. It has been better than I could have ever expected, working with him.
