Acclaimed fantasy author Patrick Rothfuss is offering fans a chance to get their name into the pages of his upcoming second book, The Wise Man’s Fear.
The author — who wowsered the fantasy literature community with his 2007 book The Name of the Wind — is currently finalising the much-anticipated sequel.
Readers have a number of options to try and make the cut, and several entries will be chosen after a couple of raffles. However, Rothfuss notes in an entry on his blog detailing the plan, he might simply pick a few more. “If I look through the entries and see a suggested name that looks cool to me, I might tweak it a bit and use it in the book. Simple as that. I’m always on the lookout for cool names,” he wrote.
The raffle will finish on November 15, and any money raised will go to Rothfuss’ charity of choice, Heifer International. Rothfuss has already received an enthusiastic response from readers in the comments on his blog. “WooHoo! I’ve thrown my name in the hat!” wrote one. “Good luck everyone!”
