I'm pretty sure Sanderson is actually a metahuman.

Or maybe he's like Quick Ben and he's actually a bunch of authors inside a trench coat.

My theory is he has 3 other authors chained up in his basement

This was a pretty cool little announcement.

It IS.
Funding goal was $1.25mil, 2 days in and already past $22mil.

The traditional publishing industry is going. To have. A cow.
...no, a DRAGONCOW.


Just backed the Audiobook bundle.

Watching that video almost makes me wish I'd read more Sanderson. I've nothing against him and I enjoyed Mistborn I just haven't read Stormlight and have too many other books to read to get into a 10 book series that is only half read.

But this is cool and fair play to him. Now I'd better stop saying good things about him or Maark will come in here and repeat the same boring old things he always says any time we mention Sanderson... ;)

Backed the eBook bundle tier.

As much as I'd like to have physical copies of whatever this is going to be, the shipping costs for international are quite obscene (not Brandon's fault, the latest Sullivan kickstarter had the same problem)

It's called TRESS & The EMERALD SEA

Sanderson asked for $1.26million for the kickstarter in funding.

And 3 days after launch....it's sitting at $26million in funding.

His traditional publishers (and may all traditional publishers) are probably shitting themselves right now.

The power of an author and his team cutting out the middle man and dealing directly with fans cannot be understated when the author has THIS kind of following.

I read the first five chapters and want more! Too bad it’s still a year out.
