Interview #580: Paris Signing Report - Jonathan B, Entry #4

Question

Someone asked if he would do the prequels and outriggers.

Brandon Sanderson

He said its Harriet’s decision but he’d seen a lot of series being continued after they probably should have stopped and he doesn’t want that to happen to the wheel of time. TOR wants very much for Brandon to do more WOT books after the end and also continue his own books. Brandon thinks that the easiest place for them to stop doing additional WOT material is after A Memory of Light and the encyclopedia are done—if the prequels get written, he worries that there would be more demand for the outriggers and if the outriggers got written, demand for more books. He mentioned that he would say yes if Harriet asked him to do the prequels and outriggers but would say no to any further material after that. He has advised that they stop after A Memory of Light and the encyclopedia. However, he did say that he thinks that the outriggers and prequels would be great books if they were written, which makes me really want to read them. He has said previously that if there were one or the other that he’d rather do the prequels but TOR wants the outriggers more.
