I’m Betsy Mitchell, editor in chief of Del Rey Books and proud to be Terry Brooks’s editor. Terry is one of the architects of the fantasy field as it exists today. His first novel, The Sword of Shannara, came out in 1977 and was a huge bestseller. He’s written many more tales in the Shannara world since then as well as the Word and Void trilogy, a book on writing titled Sometimes the Magic Works, and the Magic Kingdom of Landover series. His most recent New York Times bestseller is a return to the world of the Magic Kingdom: A Princess of Landover. Welcome, Terry!

Hi, I’m Michelle, Christopher’s editor.   I first read Eragon in 2002—the self-published edition Christopher put out with his family.   I immediately fell in love with the story and the world Christopher had created, and when Knopf published the book in 2003, Eragon became an instant New York Times bestseller—and an international sensation.   Since then, Christopher has written two more books in the Inheritance cycle—Eldest and Brisingr—and the series has more than 22 million copies in print around the world.  Welcome, Christopher!
