‘The Winds Of Winter’ Release Date, News & Update: Do ‘TWOW’ Publishers Doubt George R.R. Martin Will Finish 6th ‘ASOIF’ Book?

Are the "The Winds Of Winter" publishers HarperCollins and Random House in doubt that George R.R. Martin will finish the sixth "A Song Of Ice and Fire" (ASOIF) book? Despite the 20th year celebration of the first publication of "Game Of Thrones" by GRRM, worry over uncertainty of "TWOW" release prevails among fans

The Independent recalls that George R.R. Martin had an internal schedule with publishers to complete the manuscript for "The Winds Of Winter" in December 2015. However, December came and went without launch news from GRRM on the sixth "A Song Of Ice and Fire" book in the "ASOIF" saga.

A number of fans wondered if George R.R. Martin will complete "The Winds Of Winter" book or his "A Song Of Ice and Fire" saga at all. GRRM reportedly resisted any doubt by fans on his "TWOW" delivery and "ASOIF" completion related to health or age.

Do his publishers doubt that George R.R. Martin will finish "TWOW" or that GRRM will complete the "ASOIF" saga? Newsweek reports that neither the editor of George R.R. Martin at Random House nor at HarperCollins have any idea on when GRRM will deliver the final page of "The Winds Of Winter" manuscript into their hands.

Jane Johnson quips that on the matter of completion date for George R.R. Martin on "The Winds Of Winter," like Jon Snow she knows nothing. Jane Johnson, however, was quick to assure that they will not delay in publishing "TWOW" once GRRM delivers.

"It's worth saying he's written the best part of two million words of this series in the past 20 years," Jane Johnson further said of GRRM. "So given the average length of a novel is around 100,000 words, that's 20 novels in most writers' worlds."

Is "The Winds Of Winter" blowing any time soon? Bets are still hedged on George R.R. Martin delivering his sixth "ASOIF" book before the first half of 2017 is over. When do you project George R.R. Martin will deliver "The Winds Of Winter?
