Interview #541: Chat with Brandon Sanderson, Entry #28

I like how your book covers mysteriously lead us into wrong conclusions about who characters are. Who comes up with that? You mostly, or does publisher have input??

Brandon Sanderson

Mostly, those are the publisher’s deal. I generally have some input, but only a small input. The longer I go, the more I have to say. Often, I will suggest scenes, but it’s up to the publisher/artist to decide. For example, the cover of Mistborn 3 was originally a concept cover for the cover of Mistborn One. Everyone liked it so much, they decided to tweak the sketch and do a full painting for Mistborn 3.
