Seems to be a lucrative week for SF&F writers
Sanderson has signed a new deal with Tor Books for the first four novels in The Way of Kings series, a planned ten-book saga. Sanderson wrote the first novel some time ago and is moving back and forth between revising this and writing The Wheel of Time Book 13, and will then swap over (writing Way of Kings 2 and revising WoT 13).
The deal includes a six-figure advance for each of the four novels, plus additional bonuses if he hits certain deadlines or sales figures. The money value of the deal could exceed $2.5 million.
This deal is for The Way of Kings by itself and does not include the re-negotiated Wheel of Time contract (Sanderson and Tor set up a new deal last week after the final book was split in three due to extreme length).
Impressive. Even off his own back, Sanderson seems to be a rising star and his work on the Wheel of Time books will likely cause his profile to increase much more markedly.
