Update on A MEMORY OF LIGHT: one-third done, deadline of November this year, publication 2012 Werthead Send a noteboard - 26/07/2011 01:23:44 PM
Brandon Sanderson has given some more info on AMoL via Twitter. He is currently about one-third done on the book and is hitting a stretch where he did a lot of work during the writing of TGS-ToM, so that percentage should shoot up a lot more in the next few weeks. Apparently he plans to hand the completed manuscript in to Harriet and Tor in November 2011.

Harriet and Tor want to spend more time editing and prepping the book than they did with ToM, which slipped out with quite a few errors and typos. However, even taking twice as long on AMoL, the book could feasibly be ready for publication June-July 2012.

At the moment, and rather sensibly, all involved are saying that the likely publication date is November 2012. As the last WoT book, Tor might want more time to prepare an epic ad/marketing campaign. But things are definitely looking up now :)

I had hoped that that was only rumor. But alas it was not. *NM* - 03/08/2011 01:42:34 AM 313 Views
