He went to many local colleges to find an editor before finding an agent. He started looking for agents to publish it. In June 1994, Riordan finished the story. After hearing the story, Haley wanted his father to write a book about Percy and his friends. He made up the story of how Percy traveled across the United States to search for Zeus' master bolt.
