His first book was initially published with a small press. After that, he decided to publish through Amazon.com's Kindle Direct Publishing system, because of the freedom of self-publishing. After the series grew in popularity, he began to write more entries for it. Howey began soliciting international rights in 2012, including signing a deal for Brazil. Film rights to the series were sold to 20th Century Fox; Lionsgate also expressed interest. In 2012, Howey signed a deal with Simon and Schuster to distribute ''Wool'' to book retailers across the US and Canada. The deal allowed Howey to continue to sell the book online exclusively. He notably turned down seven figure offers in favor of a mid-six figure sum, in return for maintaining e-book rights. He has also signed publishing contracts with Random House Century UK for UK distribution of both his ''Wool'' and ''Sand'' series, published as novels of the same names.
