Sullivan on April 14th, it wasn’t for unconventional publishing, that would have been the end of the road for Hollow World. “ The First Empire series is based in the same world as the Riyria books, but it takes place several thousand years in the past,” Sullivan told me when I asked what the new series had to offer old fans. I caught up with Sullivan to chat about the new series and his half-million dollar deal. The deal includes the first four volumes of the series: Rhune, Dherg, Rhist and Phyre.

Since then, he’s been a poster boy for Hybrid Publishing, an approach that allows authors to leverage the strengths of both the traditional publishing model and self publishing to their advantage and the advantage of their readers. His debut series, the Riyira Revelations, sold 90,000 units before Sullivan sold the publishing rights to Orbit Books in 2011. Sullivan is one of fantasy’s most prominent self-publishing success stories.
