Ten Years of WOOL
It’s been a decade since I wrote a little story that changed my life and kept a ton of readers up past their bedtimes.
When I wrote WOOL, I never thought I’d live to see it impact so many people. All you can dream about as a new writer is getting one person to read and love your work. Never in a million years did I foresee these books being translated into over 40 languages and for millions of people to fall in love with Juliette and her struggles in the silo. A decade on, and the themes of this story are as meaningful and powerful as ever. So it’s with great pride that I announce today new editions of my bestselling series.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt will be the first publisher in the US to have publishing rights for all the books. To mark the occasion, we’ve given the books a new look. Even better, I suggested we do a box set that included my SILO STORIES, and we do something fancy and cohesive across the spines of the series, and HMH loved the idea. We wanted to create a boxset that was gorgeous but affordable. And we wanted the books to stand alone as well. I love what we pulled off. Hopefully when they come out in October, anybody who wants a boxset will be able to get one.

LOVE THIS SERIES!! I'm rereading for the 2nd time. Wish it would one day become a movie or series 🤞🏻
Wow, that is so exciting. I remember reading it almost 10 years ago. That's crazy how much time as passed.
I still remember reading the first "book" of the WOOL series and being blown away. I gobbled up the rest as well as SHIFT, DUST, and the SILO STORIES. Thank you for transporting us to this cautionary other-world.
One of my all-time favorites. I recommend it to everyone. Now...when does the movie come out? :)
One of my all-time favourites. Is there an audio version? I gave recommended this series to so many people.
Thank you!
Loved Hugh's books and have really enjoyed a lot of the fan fiction they spawned.
I am forever grateful for the WOOL books. I found them when I was in a really bad time in my life, and they were the ONLY things that sucked me in--the worldbuilding was just so solid and immersive. The unfolding saga of the Silos kept me company and will always have a place on my bookshelf.
