And, here's a check-in from Brandon: Hey, all! I'm in Hollywood this week doing another round of meetings. Nothing big to report. Just...well, lots of meetings. I wasn't able to get much on Stormlight 5 done. That's why I hit it so hard last week. I'm at (bing) 29% on the final draft. That does put me a little behind, but my goal will be to catch back up in May after C2E2. Thanks! -- Brandon
The "quiet room" is a wonderful idea that I wish I saw more often. Some people just get overstimulated, or tired, and there being a place for this means the world to people like me.
@@charlotteandrewsart2094 We have one! It's available on our pre-order store until April 30. words-of-radiance-leatherbound.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Definitely have to look at a few of those restocked boxes. Wish we had an idea on the Tress cup restock to order all together, shipping to Australia is brutal separately
Same here. As soon as the Facebook post went out I instantly purchased and regret nothing. It is the only item I had a lot of sadness for missing. I was thinking none of the other boxes sold out, so didn't think the Mistborn one would and it did. I don't regret missing the first one though as money was going towards my cats health!
I wish I could buy a "Build your own Box" there's so many little things that I'd like to 'use' from the boxes that I wont use cause I want to show em off.
Finally! I'm going to listen to them asap. What should I listen to first, (Already read the physical copy of Tess of the Emerald Sea), the Sunlit Man or Yumi the Nightmare Painter? Outside of that, I'm am pretty sure I've read all other cosmere books. Although, I don't think I've read anything outside of the Cosmere by Sanderson. Definitely reply with suggestions for the cytoverse or other books by Sanderson I should read.
Two questions: Could you show the first round of plushies compared with the second so that we can see the differences made with each pass? Will the items in the Year of Sanderson boxes ever be sold separately? (I thought I heard they might be early on.)
Brandon, while you are on the plane watch Fallout and do an Intentionally Blank on it... unless you are writing books on the plane... then I guess do that instead :)
I'm not sure how restocking the Year of Sanderson boxes for individual sales (in addition to the premium hardovers being made endless restock items) works when the Year of Sanderson stuff was advertised to backers as exclusive buy-it-now-or-miss-it stuff... Kinda got caught by the FOMO, which turned out to not be so urgent as was suggested. TBH I wish I hadn't backed, and had just waited to buy only the boxes I actually wanted. If I'd known how many would be made available separately, I'd have just gotten the audiobooks, then bought only some of the boxes. Live and learn I guess.
The Shipping Timeline of the “Story” section on the WoR Leatherbound BackerKit page says that the WoR leatherbounds will begin shipping in Fall of 2024. Exactly what date isn’t determined yet. How long the entire shipping process takes will depend on how many they have to ship out. So you might get it anywhere from September to November. They’ll announce more specific dates later.
Any chance those who backed it get a code or something to get the audiobooks on Audible? I paid for it when I backed it and don't really feel like I should have to buy the books again to to add it to my Audible collection. If not, no biggie. I'd love to have them all under Audible but won't be buying them again just to do so.
@blunderswish7121 I believe you are talking about the newest secret project that is still in the works. @hiattech is talking about the original four secret projects from the Year of Sanderson which were not released on Audible at the time. This update stated that those four secret projects are now available on Audible and I would also like to know if those of us who got the audiobooks with the original campaign will have an option to get them on Audible without paying for them again.
I think giving away 80 000 licenses per book would have needed to be part of their agreement if they wanted to do it. Since they haven't said that they got that in, I think you're out of luck.
Same question as another person below - will you be sending Amazon redemption codes to backers who got access on a different platform? Audible is my main listening platform but I'd rather not have to purchase them after backing the original projects.
Hello! When our campaign launched in 2022, we promised to provide these audiobooks to backers in the form of MP3 and M4B files, and then we were able to add Spotify and Speechify codes as a bonus during fulfillment. All audiobook files and codes are still available and can be accessed at secretnovels.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards. At this point, our campaign has been fulfilled as promised, and we have moved on to our next campaign. We do not have-and are unable to provide-codes to Audible.
I mean absolutely no disrespect here, I'm merely curious and trying to learn: is that a speech impediment of some sort or just an accent or affectation? I have a friend who talks a lot like she does, but he also has a stutter and I always assumed the two were related. But I don't hear much of a stutter, so maybe that's something else or just an accent?
Wish I could get the Audible access instead of still having the terrible Spotify access that came with the secret projects.... had to uninstall Spotify, a terrible app that would never turn off!!! Only used to listen to Sanderson, but now my audiobook library is split...
I went back-and-forth, looking at side-by-side, and the new plushy she is holding look more cheaply made than the ones that Brandon Sanderson showed off. For $40 a pop plus tax I really hope that these are going to be on par with what he showed off originally

Man, Your work ethic deserves a bridge-4 salute
I love the Bing! lol
Amazing (bing) take your time!
So you have something little to report then ;)
Exciting!!
How many other people is Brandon secretly
Explains how he cranks out all these books so quickly
Explains it all!
Taylor swift announces double album around the same time brandon announces a new secret project. Coincidence?
Brandon never existed. It has actually been Shallan the whole time.
Little known fact: Shakespeare never died. He just needed to lie low for a few hundred years before he could start cranking out more writings.
I love how excited they get about their merch. You can tell everyone on the team is also a fan/into what they're doing and cares about the quality.
The "quiet room" is a wonderful idea that I wish I saw more often. Some people just get overstimulated, or tired, and there being a place for this means the world to people like me.
Thank you Kara. You are incredible and thank you for the update
I am really enjoying getting updates from the different heads of the department or whatever their title is
WEE-WOO WEE-WOO! Mistborn box is back in stock!
where can we purchase one?
OMG and the Scenic View Academy partnership?!?! I couldn’t love Brando Sando and all of the people supporting it all more. ❤❤❤
The real reason Brandon can write so much: He's actually an entire team of people
He's a collection of hordelings, each specialized in writing so he can write hundreds of books at once.
That backerkit pin is so pretty!
Oh hey, Scenic View. I actually went there. I wasn't expecting them to be mentioned here, that's neat.
Ngl, I kinda want to buy another Nalthis box because those coasters are beautiful.
Also, petition for Cosmere and/or Stormlight license plate covers.
I have some ideas for Merch too they need to give us a way to email them our ideas
YES. I need a "Journey before destination" license plate cover.

Nice to meet you!! Your amazing!! You do your job so well!! ❤ thank you for your time.👍
Nice to see you and thank you
Hi Kara! Thank you for all your hard work on the items! I love them. When are Plushy Aviar's coming out?
The speed with which I went to Audible to buy the secret projects is worthy of a Guinness record

I've never bought anything so quickly as the Mistborn box right now

Syl merch is warming my heart 🩷
I haven’t even watched video yet, and I already know I’m going to buy them all AGAIN on audible, just because they’re worth paying twice.❤
Yay, Audible is back, instantly purchased all 4
Thank you Kara!
I wish I could buy a "Build your own Box" there's so many little things that I'd like to 'use' from the boxes that I wont use cause I want to show em off.
Figures that the only pin I want is the one that I can't just buy... Dragon looks cool
We love you Kara!
i really wish i could buy the mistborn box. i love the series

So great to meet another member of team Dragonsteel! I have some great Merchandising ideas. Is there a email that we can mail our ideas to?
Yeah Kara!!
Yay it’s Kara!
Rn Brandon is definitely writing another secret project and you cannot convince me otherwise
I just bought all three Cosmere secret Projects
Hey a little question. Are there any news on Graphic-Audio adaptations of the dramatized adaptations of the secret projects?
We are Legion (we are Brandon)😂
They’re finally on Audible! I am legitimately tempted to re-purchase at least Tress and Yumi so I don’t need to deal with Speechify.
I like seeng the difrent pepole from difrent departments of dragonsteel. We ow them so much!
Any chance backers might get codes for Audible secret projects like we have for Spotify?
They answered this on Reddit unfortunately no.
Two questions:
Could you show the first round of plushies compared with the second so that we can see the differences made with each pass?
Will the items in the Year of Sanderson boxes ever be sold separately? (I thought I heard they might be early on.)
For the merch, I only missed the Tress box, but did get the book - will there be an opportunity to get the bookmark separately?
Would love this too. I assumed the boxes were gone for good and so bought the book separately, but now I wish I'd have waited
toeless sylplush please ❤
Out of curiosity, is there a plan to restock the first ideal shirts in the store?
Why get rid of Syl's wink on the pin? It looked so much better!
Will any of the boxes be at c2e2?
Brandon, while you are on the plane watch Fallout and do an Intentionally Blank on it... unless you are writing books on the plane... then I guess do that instead :)
when will they be coming to graphic audio?
Uh the backer pin!
Glad the plushies are still being improved, the ones we saw originally didn't seem to be that great, so glad they are being improved still.
PEAKSPREN CUTE
I dont think I’m the only one hoping that audible codes are made available to those of us who put up with speechify
Where can I get that Rosharan map on the back?

Brandons Metamorphosis continues!
Looking to book time off work to really dive into SA5... is Sept - Nov the expected release time or are we thinking more December?
December 6, 2024
Great news for audiobooks in English. Will it be available in audible subscriptions in Spanish and other languages too?
Audible has had these in Spanish since the beginning.
I did not have secret project books yet and had 4 spare credits in Audible. Now I have no credits left.
Hi producer Adam
Anyone know roughly when we can expect to get the WoR leatherbound? Hoping it’ll be in time for my re-read leading up to Wind and Truth!
The Shipping Timeline of the “Story” section on the WoR Leatherbound BackerKit page says that the WoR leatherbounds will begin shipping in Fall of 2024.

Uhm where did that crown in the back left come from 2:42
Just got one of them on audible I've been waiting for this.
Same!
None of the cosmere books are on audible India 😢

I'd love to have them all under Audible but won't be buying them again just to do so.
I thought there was a survey option for you to select which version of the audiobook you wanted. I could be misremembering.
Just checked yes there was. I choose raw files and audible in the backer survey
@@blunderswish7121 I think they are referring to the 4 secret projects. Not the new novel in the leather bound campaign

MISTBORN BOX
Where can I purchase a Mistborn box?

The more they say they are not Brandon, the more I think it is him.
Would it not be cool if the next video was George R.R. Martin saying he is not Brandon?

thank god. spotify is horrible for audiobooks
@BrandonSanderson
What about people who backed year of sanderson?
Do they have to buy the secret projects again just to have them in Audible?
Wish I could get the Audible access instead of still having the terrible Spotify access that came with the secret projects.... had to uninstall Spotify, a terrible app that would never turn off!!! Only used to listen to Sanderson, but now my audiobook library is split...
I'm also pretty annoyed that my Audiobook Library is split. The Spotify App is not good for audiobooks
I thought Brandon was a Bondsmith and not a Lightweaver but all these different personalities...
What about graphicaudio for the secret projects?
Thank you, I get that they are lower money for you guys, but that's really my max budget so it was a lost sale.
I went back-and-forth, looking at side-by-side, and the new plushy she is holding look more cheaply made than the ones that Brandon Sanderson showed off. For $40 a pop plus tax I really hope that these are going to be on par with what he showed off originally
Rewrite Rhythms of Bore!
Too bad all the secret projects are terrible
