Interview #925: Brandon Sanderson’s Blog: Stormlight 2 Writing Video, Hugo Nomination Deadline, DANGEROUS WOMEN & Updates, Entry #3

Brandon Sanderson

Here’s something cool: a fantasy calendar featuring fantasy writers . Lauren Zurchin of Lytherus is putting together this calendar featuring authors Holly Black, Gail Carriger, Cassandra Clare, Lauren Kate, Gregory Maguire, Tessa Gratton, Maggie Stiefvater, Brenna Yovanoff, Brandon Mull, Lauren Oliver, Chrisopher Paolini, Patrick Rothfuss, Tad Williams, and me. We will all be dressed in fantasy costumes of Lauren’s design. Once the calendar is for sale, the proceeds from the calendar will go to the First Book and Worldbuilders charities . To fund the creation of the calendar, the costumes, and traveling to the authors to dress us up and take our pictures, Lauren is running a Kickstarter campaign. Just to be clear: Kickstarter doesn’t allow charity campaigns, so the Kickstarter campaign itself is not a charitable endeavor, but it will go to fund creation of a calendar that when sold WILL have its proceeds donated to two charities. There are various things you can get for pledging various amounts, including a photo of me in my costume, signed by me, or a similar photo for each of the other authors. I think this is a cool idea, and I’m wondering what sort of costume Lauren will dress me up in. We’ll never find out unless the Kickstarter campaign reaches its goal.
