Graphic Audio of The Stormlight Archive + Updates
Most of my novels are available as unabridged audiobooks, and some are also available from Graphic Audio as dramatized editions. So far they’ve put out Elantris, Warbreaker, and the Mistborn trilogy, with The Alloy of Law coming in May. Well, this week also marks the release of their production of the first part of The Way of Kings, and they will follow that up with the rest of the book and Words of Radiance. Graphic Audio’s slogan is “A Movie in Your Mind,” and it’s a very different listening experience from traditional unabridged audiobooks. If you have never experienced a dramatized novel, check out the link or scroll to the bottom of this post to listen a sample.
There are two conventions in April that I will be attending:
April 8–10: Odyssey Con in Madison, WI.
April 22–24: JordanCon in Atlanta, GA.
Preregistration is closed for Odyssey Con, but you can register at the door. There’s less than a week remaining to preregister for JordanCon; the last day is March 27th. (You can register at the door, but it’s a bit more expensive.) See my full list of events here.
For those who didn’t know I was out of the country, I just got back from an incredible trip to the UAE. I met some wonderful people and made extraordinary memories. I may do a more thorough post on this later, but for now here’s a photo from my trip. For those who have always wondered what I would look like holding a falcon, here you go!
In this week’s new Writing Excuses episode, Idea as Subgenre, With Nancy Fulda, Nancy Fulda joins us again for a second episode on the Idea elemental genre. We cover some tools for exploring an idea, and then drill down a bit on how to use that exploration, or even multiple explorations as “seasoning” elements for a larger work.
Last week, in Tor.com’s continuing reread posts for Words of Radiance, we sat out a highstorm while Shallan and Kaladin exchanged backstories. This week, in Chapter 75, they finally return with a vital contribution to the upcoming expedition.
My assistant Adam has updated the Twitter post archive for March.

The dramatized novel was too loud and intense
Love Graphic Audio's productions of your work (and other fantasy authors)! So happy to hear they will be doing the Way of Kings! My hubby's been waiting a long time for it. :-)
Laith wrote: "The dramatized novel was too loud and intense"I agree... the sound mixing is off. Background is too busy and drowns out the narrator.
I thought this was amazing. the only thing i dislike is waiting for the rest of the book. 5 parts is going to take a while to complete if they do 1 part a month. It will be awesome to sit down with both book complete. I did this with Light bringer. All 3 complete GA book in one sitting. Storm light has to be one of my fav book series . Thank you GA & Brandon Sanderson
I loved the GraphicAudio production of the Mistborn series, so I'm thrilled to hear The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance will be getting the same treatment. Excellent news!
I absolutely LOVE Graphic Audio... I first stumbled across your name on the Wheel of Time series (which I still need to finish...) and when I was looking for a booktape for the long drive, I saw your name on one of the Graphic Audio books I was looking at - Elantris. I then found Mistborn and am absolutely hooked on your work! I've since read more from the Mistborn universe, the Stormlight books and even Infinity Blade and I don't think I can go back!Love it!

I want you to know that our students love your books.
I have to have several copies because they are always checked out.
Thanks for writing books that keep the students reading.
I push hard copies over the e-books, because I feel it the touch of book, and being able to turn the pages is extremely important.
I hope that we will always have a choice of a print edition for our students.
