Ibilbidea

Idazketan hasierako ibilbidea

Sanderson 2007an

Sandersonek aldioroz idatzi zuen graduondoko eta graduondoko ikasketetan zehar; 2003. urterako, hamabi eleberri idatzi zituen, nahiz eta editore bakar batek ere ez zituen onartu argitaratzeko. BYUn graduondoko programa baten erdian zegoela, Moshe Feder Tor Bookseko editorea berarekin harremanetan jarri zen, zein bere liburuetako bat eskuratu nahi zuen. Sandersonek bere seigarren eleberriaren, Elantris, eskuizkribua aurkeztu zuen urte eta erdi lehenago. Elantris 2005eko apirilaren 21ean argitaratu zuen Tor Booksek, oro har kritika positiboakekin. 2006an Mistborn: The Final Empire ("Azken Inperioa") izan zen bere fantasiazko trilogiako lehen liburua, zeinean "alomanistek" — metalak eta aleazioak "erretzeko" gaitasuna zutenek, irentsi ondoren, zentzumenak eta naturaz gaindiko indar boteretsuen gaineko kontrola irabazi zituzten.

2007an Mistborn saileko bigarren liburua argitaratu zuen, The Well of Ascension. Urte horretan bertan, Sandersonek Alcatraz Versus The Evil Librariers haur-eleberria argitaratu zuen, Alcatraz izeneko mutil bati buruzkoa, gauzak apurtzeko talentua zuena. Alcatrazek liburuzain maltzur talde bati aurre egin behar dio, zein munduaz jabetzeko nahia dute. Bere "magiaren legeetako" lehena 2007an argitaratu zen lehen aldiz, eta bigarrena eta hirugarrena 2012an eta 2013an (hurrenez hurren). 2008an Mistborn trilogiako hirugarren eta azken liburua argitaratu zen, The Hero of Ages izenekoa, baita Alcatraz saileko bigarren liburua ere, Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones izenekoa. Urte berean, Howard Tayler eta Dan Wellsekin hasi zuen Writing Excuses podcasta.

The Wheel of Time

Sanderson 2007. urte amaieran nabarmendu zen Harriet McDougal, Robert Jordan egilearen emazte eta editorea, Sanderson aukeratu zuenean, Jordanen heriotzaren ondoren, haren The Wheel of Time fantasiazko serie epikoaren azken liburuak osatzeko. McDougalek seriea amaitzeko eskatu zion Sandersoni, bere lehen Mistborn serieko eleberria The Final Empire nobelak sakonki txundituta utzi ondoren. Tor Books 2007ko abenduaren 7an egin zuen iragarpena. Seriea osatzeko beharrezkoa zena berrikusi ondoren, Sandersonek eta Torrek 2009ko martxoaren 30ean iragarri zuten, hiru liburu argitaratuko zirela baten ordez.

The first of these, The Gathering Storm, was published on October 27, 2009, and reached the number-one spot on the New York Times bestseller list for hardcover fiction.
