Interview #836: Orem Signing Report - Zas, Entry #12

Question

So how old were you when you wrote your first book?

Brandon Sanderson

Well, my first book came out in 2005, so I would’ve been…. 30? But I was writing from age 21. That’s when I really started seriously writing. I dabbled a little bit on my mission on my P-days, with permission from my mission president, and then really started seriously when I got back sophomore year of college, and wrote my first book that year I got back. And that one didn’t get published. But it wasn’t any good, so it’s good it didn’t get published. And then I just wrote over the next 9 years, wrote and wrote and wrote till I finally sold one.
