Knopf Books for Young Readers made the acquisition and published Eragon soon after, in August 2003.Įragon was an instant hit, going on to sell over six million copies (one million of those sold within the first five months) in North America. Hiaasen sent the book to his editor at Random House as a heads-up, to check the book out. At the same time, author Carl Hiaasen’s stepson had bought a copy of the self-published book in Montana when they were on vacation and loved it. After a few years of Paolini and his family promoting the books at bookstores, libraries and schools, with sales steadily increasing, folks at Random House started hearing rumblings from sales reps about the book. Eragon was self-published back in November 2001.
