@@apanda1122 Each story is set on a different continent. They are each completely separate stand alone stories. They are mostly science fiction and dystopian. The first story begins like so: Stefan Dixon walked into the office late again. He looked up from his wristwatch, pushed back his tinted glasses, and continued walking. He was always late-he wasn't sure why, but he suspected it was because his mind was too full of thoughts. It was becoming difficult to sleep at times with all of them floating around in his head.

He had found out about the office whiner's nickname for him one afternoon when he read Alfred. He didn't think it was very clever, but he couldn't blame good ole Al. Ole Ale had a much harder life than Stefan. He wasn't sure of the whole story, but he had picked his mind here and there and had figured out that Alfred had grown up around an alcoholic father. Things like that tend to make people bitter, I imagine. Stefan turned a corner...
Thanks for the timestamps! I hate to be a killjoy, but a youtube comment section about the editing process of a specific book is not the place to be plugging unrelated works. It's nothing against you, it's the precedent it sets if people start to think it's ok to spam forums for profit. I'm sure there are places where this would be welcome, but this aint it chief. That said, I wish you success in your literary career.
From a business perspective it seems like Brandon does a great job delegating and empowering a team to help him assist in his creation process. In a sense the books are a product of all of them, though the original vision obviously comes from Brandon. The teamwork is impressive.
My daughter said that Peter's "I Am a Stick" shirt looked weird. When I asked why, she said because the shirt is green, not brown like the one I wear all the time.
Really love the commitment to the themes of transparency and collaboration. Both in the books particularly with Navani’s POV, and in real life with your open UA-cam lectures. You enrich us all.
This was extremely, extremely interesting. We've heard about some of it on a livestream before but it's fascinating how much of a process it is. I appreciate everyone's work on this book, author, editors, beta-readers, and all. I can't wait to receive my copy. I've had it on pre-order since the end of Jan.
Please, I missed the cover artist? Where is it, what channel? What's his/her name?🎋 (There also was Hello future me interview some days ago 🎶) -- found it, it's on this channel, ouf!😊
Virginie It’s on Brandon’s channel. Check out Michael Whelan’s website. He’s been doing science fiction and fantasy covers for decades. One of the best. Brandon personally wanted him for Stormlight.
I just started reading your books this year, and it's being amazing! Sadly, it's very hard to find them in my language, so instead I'm reading them with an English dictionary for the more complex words haha.
@@merrin1341 Yeah, from that perspective I'm glad that I had to buy them in their original language. It's a great experience to consume literature this way.
So what I am hearing is that Brandon is an incredibly fast, good writer, who loves big ideas and tiny details. Then his team takes those abilities and turns him into the best fantasy author since Tolkien. To paraphrase Words of Radiance, "He had always known how to hire the right people, that was his strength."
I feel like Sanderson was really smart in the way he incorporated the the spren, so that he could easily use spren to show in stead of tell emotions and character's reactions.
@@nickgarcia1139 that's what I was thinking. Is it really showing to have a giant floating sign pointing at the character saying "this person is sad" instead of just saying "this person is sad"
Thank you team Brandon for sharing insights into the processes you all go through. I’m not a writer, but as an artist the parallels are there and I appreciate your collective openness.
I just wanted to say thank you all who work on the SL books. Brandon, you have such a great story and Rhythm really pulls at the heartstrings. Love it. The edit team and beta readers all deserve a hug or coffee, whatever they like. lol. And of course Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, pulling off yet again a wonderful audio rendition. I bought the audiobook and enjoyed it immensely. Awesome follow-up to Oathbringer. Be safe and stormy everyone!
Oh... my...gosh... i never relized how much work are high cualaty storys. And i sas today also your team on dragonsteel. You guys are beasts! Good work so far. I really hope this is constent till the end of adlist stormlight. Wish you the best. You can give up on pepole, just dont give up on god. 👍❤📖
Probably not. Even when Stormlight 10 is done, there will still be Cosmere secrets hidden in there that won't be revealed until Mistborn Era 4. And Stormlight 10 probably won't be out for a good 20 years. Brandon will be hitting 80 when he wraps the rest of the Cosmere. If you're still around, then he could publish it, only it will probably be the size of Brittanica to print at that point.
While it may have been hard, I found the Sazed arc in Hero of Ages to be the best thing of yours I’ve read, Mr Sanderson. (I haven’t had time to read any Stormlight yet though!). Sazed’s arc came at a time in my life with similar problems so I related to it a lot. It was a great journey for the character and was extremely satisfying!
So much Brandon today! So, 2o2o isn't all bad after all 🎶 🌃🎋 From France, waiting for my copy of RoW from Amazon, no date yet for the actual delivery. I choose the american TOR edition, for the colors 🌈 Not the hard cover, not the paper back, the one in the middle- the most convié format for me 📚 Dreaming of the WoK signed leather bound, but with equivalent of a disability check, that's not even on my Christmas'wishes list 😓 (The Disheveled Goblin and Hello Future Me interviews were really, really nice! You are doing well in the UA-camr/Author turf!)
Damn. It's nice to have a team. I guess after I publish my first book I'll be able hopefully to have a great team like that as well. It's nice to see the design plainly. This is how it's gonna be. Nice
Cause I am to lazy to reach out any other way and I know this is not the scene but... I gatta say brandon your sequences with Wit in he stormlight archive have to be the best writing I've ever read/listened to. The simplistic nuance and the story within stories gods I dare say you match if not better then Patrick Rothfuss keep on keeping on sir 😊
Wow - Karen is so organized! Do you hire her out? :) She could have her own class on keeping authors who write a series organized! :) I have worked with copyeditors before and I'm sure they appreciate all the information - it has to make their job easier. :)
I haven't been this excited for a book to come out since I was nine and in line at the midnight release of the goblet of fire event at a fucking BORDERS man.
The first thing my professor taught us in my writing tutoring class was to prioritize higher order concerns over lower order concerns. Don’t frost a cake before you bake it. Don’t fix their grammar if they still require deep revision.
I was planning on doing my accounts this month, but then RoW arrived, and I tried to start it and realised I couldn't remember nearly enough from Oathbringer and WoR, so now I'm rereading those. So thanks for ruining the next two months of my life with your amazing writing and editing, you magnificent bastards 👍
You are an evil genius Brandon Sanderson. I'm 37 chapters into this book (no spoilers) and you continue to end chapters before allowing me any emotional resolution. Making me continue to read on to the next chapter which continues another characters story which had also been prematurely ended. It's a vicious cycle and I assume I need sleep at some point this week.
Notice that he is not using a shoe. But, he is the one using a suit. So, he is the boss. He is in control. I don't think that all authors write a 300 GURPS book on characters looks and outfits, but is nice to know his methods.
How open are the communications between author and editor. When editors make specific comments about changing parts-would it be reasonable to ask an suggest a different way to fix an issue that has arisen (as the author) For example: “ you suggested changing it this way-and I absolutely agree that it’s an issue; do you think it would work to change it this other instead?” Or are editors mostly hands off between the/after there letters?
However amazing that sounds I feel it may have spoilers in for links to cosmere and stuff...cause surely as a 'loremaster' she may know certain important bits But it would be amazing
When I first got Oathbringer and was looking at the table of contents page I was suuuper confused for a minute about the "Book Two" thing then I realized it was a typo :P (Kinda proud of myself for finding it LOL)
Please publish Stormlight in Brazil! I'm desperate for my friends to read it, but they can't read in english! (We actually want all Cosmere novels and novellas to be published in Brazil).
Im not saying that Brandon is not a great author, I really believe that he is a freaking master but when I know that he has a bunch of people helping him writting the series, I dont feel so overwhelmed by lots of errors in my only one book that I get to fix by myself only with a help of my one friend
It might be too late now, but I think there are a couple of things that could seriously spoil the beginning of Oathbringer, so I would recommend avoiding this video for now. Sorry if I’m too late for this, it shouldn’t be a huge problem, but they are unexpected developments that you might not want to know about beforehand!
I can't even imagine the attention to detail that Karen has in making the timeline :o

I actually feel better about my writing after hearing you have someone completely focused on timeline. Thanks for the great videos!
I don’t know if he thought we would see his socks, but we did.
It's 2020, most of us are lucky to still bother to put on pants.
I teach high school math online all day. I occasionally wear pants
I was so focused i didn't see his socks! When were they visible? What socks?!
They were exactly the kind of socks you might have thought he was wearing. 04:00
And this made my day
I honestly love these people for their dedication and hard work to produce this massive project. Ever so epic.

How open are the communications between author and editor. When editors make specific comments about changing parts-would it be reasonable to ask an suggest a different way to fix an issue that has arisen (as the author)

Time stamp?
Will there be spoiler discussions at any point? Would love to get some concrete stuff for some of these references re: viewpoints.

11:00 bold to assume we didn't binge the book to listen to this afterwards.

When I first got Oathbringer and was looking at the table of contents page I was suuuper confused for a minute about the "Book Two" thing then I realized it was a typo :P (Kinda proud of myself for finding it LOL)

Man, as an editor I feel the lack of memory!😅 The neurological output for this career is crazy! Lol
As a former typesetter, never heard of a stack, cool.

Please publish Stormlight in Brazil!
I'm desperate for my friends to read it, but they can't read in english!
(We actually want all Cosmere novels and novellas to be published in Brazil).

Im not saying that Brandon is not a great author, I really believe that he is a freaking master but when I know that he has a bunch of people helping him writting the series, I dont feel so overwhelmed by lots of errors in my only one book that I get to fix by myself only with a help of my one friend

I AM A STICK!

Is this spoiler free? I'm reading Words of Radiance right now, but I want to watch the video :/
I can’t imagine they would include any spoilers in a video like this
No spoilers. You're good!
It might be too late now, but I think there are a couple of things that could seriously spoil the beginning of Oathbringer, so I would recommend avoiding this video for now. Sorry if I’m too late for this, it shouldn’t be a huge problem, but they are unexpected developments that you might not want to know about beforehand!
@@KillerOfWhales Thank you! Keep the good work ;)
