ZenBossanova Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Interesting! Be sure to notice the long, long list of very prominent authors he is ahead of, like Butcher, or Frank Herbert. But it is also worth noting, that not all of the authors ahead of him are putting out a lot of books. If we assume it is linear growth (which I am sure is wrong) then he is doing 1 million books a year. If growth is constant, then in 50 years (may Sanderson live forever) we will be in Star Wars and GRR Martin territory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathoth Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 I thought Butcher would be way ahead of him for some reason, don't know why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBossanova Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 At least Butcher should be closer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBossanova Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 According to the same source, He had sold 15k in 2013, so he must be doing more like 2 million a year. So it stays at this rate, he will catch up with GRR Martin in 25 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
