Secret Projects

In March 2022, #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson shocked the publishing world with the most successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in history, for four novels he wrote in secret during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Note from Brandon in March 2022:

Over the last two years, a group of ideas wormed their way into my brain and I found I couldn’t let them go. Despite all of my other obligations, I had to write these stories. So I squeezed them in during moments of free time, crafting four brand new novels. I’m extremely proud of them, as each represents some new aspect of storytelling that has forced me to grow in an interesting way. Each also takes you to someplace new, original, and vibrant. Three of these are Cosmere books taking place on new worlds, and the other one is something completely different.

You might be asking why none of these have titles yet. Well, we thought it would be fun to keep those hidden for now. That way you can receive these books with minimal spoilers and just enjoy them fresh and new, without even knowing the title ahead of time—like going into a movie blind, never having seen the trailer, on the promise that it’s by a filmmaker you know you love. However, if you enjoy teasers, minor spoilers, and previews, feel free to check out the samples.

So please, join us for a Year of Sanderson and experience for yourself the secret I’ve been keeping these last few years.
