Austin Poulsen
Austin Poulsen asked Brandon Sanderson:

Is there a way to get a print copy of aether of night? It's probably my second-favorite out of your books, and I would love a copy for the shelf.

Jesse
Jesse asked Brandon Sanderson:

I love stories in any medium, and I would love to tell one myself. But, I don't think I have anything in particular to say that hasn't been done a thousand times before. I invariably come across some story that already parallels my ideas. What makes a story worth telling even when its like has been done before?

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Brandon Sanderson:

Hi Brandon! When you're writing/planning a new series, how much time would you say you spend on world building? Do you like to have a good sense of the world before you starting writing or do you adapt and evolve the world as you write?
