If you’ve been following Brandon’s Live Signing Sessions this year on YouTube (also on his Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch channels), than this won’t come as a surprise, but Brandon has been working on *yet* another project—this time an audio original—called The Original, which he co-authored with his friend, August 21, 2020 If You Missed the Kickstarter + Legion Paperback We ve heard from some of you that you didn t find out about The Way of Kings leatherbound Kickstarter until after the campaign had ended.

Several months ago, Johnny O’Neal from Brotherwise came out to Utah to show us an early test copy of Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive. We had a blast.

Now, to be clear, we love the original March 3, 2020 Advice for Marrying a Writer or Creator Brandon’s wife Emily here. I was recently on one of Brandon’s livestreams where I was asked for advice in regards to being married to an author or creator.

This post will take the same format as the last, June 28, 2019 FAQ Friday – Unsatisfied with Your Writing? As I’m sure you can imagine, I get queried quite frequently about writing advice.
