Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson on saanut lukuisia fantasiakirjallisuuden palkintoja ja tunnustuksia. Hän on kirjoittanut alkuperäiselle Usvasyntyinen-trilogialle useita jatko-osia.

SUPERSTAR AUTHOR: Brandon Sanderson is one of the biggest authors in fantasy today. He is a superstar with a dedicated fanbase.

FALL 2018 IS A BIG MOMENT FOR BRANDON: The paperback of Oathbringer goes on-sale (10/30/18). Although, he won’t go on tour for that release, to date Oathbringer (11/14/17) has U.S hardcover sales of over 160,000, plus another 320,000 in ebook and audio for a total of 500,000 copies to date.

YA SUCCESS: This will be his second YA series and we already have had enormous success with his first — all three books in the Reckoners series: Steelheart, Firefight, and Calamity, were instant #1 New York Times bestsellers.

ACCESSIBLE READ: Like the Maze Runner series and the Reckoners series, this is an incredibly accessible action-adventure series, easy for readers, reluctant and not, to lose him/herself in. This book reads like a movie!

GIRL PROTAGONIST: This series has a heroine leading the charge, so we hope to attract more girl readers to Brandon’s rabid fan base.

FremantleMedia North America and Random House Studio are partnering with fantasy author Brandon Sanderson on a new multimedia project called Dark One. This fantasy drama, about a young man with visions of a fantasy world he is fated to destroy, will take place over an ambitious number of platforms including a dramatic television series, a graphic novel, a supplementary book series, and a podcast.

Projected Schedule of Releases

Starsight (Skyward Two): November 2019
White Sand Three: Sometime 2019–2020
Stormlight Four: Fall 2020
Skyward Three: 2021
Wax and Wayne Four: Sometime 2020 or 2021

Uskonnollinen väänne kiskoo Sandersonin romaanin loppua kohti kierroksille, jotka alkavat olla jo fantasiagenrenkin puitteissa hiukan liian silmarillionia.

As mentioned in my State of the Sanderson post last month, my 2019 is dedicated to writing the fourth Stormlight book. It's a long process, likely to take around eighteen months or longer (depending on how big it gets this time...)

I'm humbled and pleased to see so many people embracing this series, the one I started assuming it would be too long and too strange to ever sell.

BRAND NEW COVERS: The reissue editions will feature a brand new cover with an iconic look that will be reminiscent of the author’s more recent books like Edgedancer and like the Song of Ice and Fire MM reissues.

Emme ole vielä päättäneet Mistbornin jatkosta tai Sandersonin muista kirjoista: seuraamme jonkin aikaa trilogian menekkiä ja jatkon kysyntää. Käytännössä päätöstä jarruttaa se, että Sandersonin kirjat ovat niin laajoja, että käännöskulut nousevat isoiksi. Kysyntää pitäisi siis olla melko paljon, jotta katettaisiin kulut ja jotain jäisi viivan allekin.

Mutta asia on siis harkinnassa: kaikki tällaiset toiveet ja palautteet ovat tärkeitä!

Sometime last year, we got into a discussion with Brandon’s agent Joshua about the Mistborn mass market covers. They’ve been on the paperback books for over a decade now, and it was time for a refresh. This is a testament to the Mistborn series’ longevity that it’s stayed in print long enough to even need new covers!

Symbolic paintings that hopefully convey the feeling of each of the books in the series. We hope these will reach across genres and capture readers’ attention. We hope they will stand out on the shelves and woo new readers at airports.

Projected Schedule of Releases

The Original audio novella: 2020
Stormlight Four: Fall 2020
Skyward Three: Summer(?) 2021
Wax and Wayne Four: Fall(?) 2021
Alcatraz 6: 2021–2022
Dark One Graphic Novel: 2021–2022
Skyward Four (final book): 2022
Stormlight Five: Fall 2023

So, my schedule now looks like this going forward. As always, this is just an estimate.

Fall 2021: Skyward 3
Spring 2022: Alcatraz 6
Fall 2022: Wax and Wayne 4
Spring/Summer 2023: Skyward 4
Fall 2023: Stormlight 5

Someday, I might do a revision of the original prose novel, which is one of the only ones from my unpublished years that is good enough (with some work) to release.

THE BIGGEST SERIES IN FANTASY: Sanderson’s #1 NYT and USA Today bestselling Stormlight Archive series has become the strongest-selling fantasy series in the industry, with 2020 sales outperforming the likes of Game of Thrones, the Kingkiller Chronicles, the Dresden Files, and Dune.

TREMENDOUS SERIES GROWTH: Stormlight Archive sales continue to grow in frontlist and backlist with every volume, and Rhythm of War has been no exception, grossing nearly 800K copies in all formats in less than 9 months, a 32% increase on Oathbringer.

MASS MARKET DOMINANCE: In 2020, Brandon Sanderson was the #1 science fiction & fantasy mass market author in America. The Stormlight Archive series has shipped more than 1M MM copies in North America alone, and Way of Kings is a regular fixture on nationwide MM bestseller lists.

The time is nearly here. In July I expect to take the graphic novel, my original book, and a lot of notes I’ve been making, and create the definitive novel version of White Sand! Khriss is a major player in the Cosmere, and so having her book be readable in a prose version is an important task I want to get to.
