Brandon Sanderson / Re: Brandon To Write Wheel of Time Book 12

Brandon, first I want to say congratulations. I have never posted here before but we have conversed by email a couple of times. This seems like a fantastic opportunity.
One thing I am curious about is how a contract for something like this works. I know for a regular book deal you get an advance then royalties if the book sells enough. How does a deal for this work? I am not looking for specific money figures, but I am just curious if this is similar or different. It seems like this is a big opportunity to make a new fan base, but at the same time it also takes time away from your own writing where you would presumably make a higher royalty rate.
