Interview #836: Orem Signing Report - Zas, Entry #29

Question

When is the next Stormlight Archive coming out?

Brandon Sanderson

Next fall. If I’m on the ball. That’s not supposed to rhyme, but it did. Tor said they’d put it out next fall if I turn it in on time.

Question

When is turn in time?

Brandon Sanderson

April. They said if I get it to them in April, we’ll be fine. The trick is, for Michael Whelan to do the cover, I need to give him a cover scene like next month. Because Michael takes his time, because he’s the best artist in the business, so you need to turn stuff in early. So I need to decide “What’s the cover going to be”, and come up with a fantastic cover scene for it.

Question

So is it finished? Is the book finished?

Brandon Sanderson

You can follow on my website, I’m at 7% right now. I have to turn it in in April, so if I can get to 100% by April (or 110% knowing Brandon) we’ll be all right. If we can’t than it gets a little more sketchy.

Question

Is that turning in the first draft?

Brandon Sanderson

Yeah, we should be able to do it if I turn in the first draft in April.
