The Writing Excuses Anthology with Sixth of the Dusk is Called "Shadows Beneath"

The Writing Excuses Anthology, containing stories from all the Writing Excuses podcasters--Brandon Sanderson, Dan Wells, Howard Tayler, and Mary Robinette Kowal--will be called Shadows Beneath. Intrepid 17th Sharder masaru discovered it via Googling "writing excuses anthology". It is not for sale yet, but it should be out July 3rd

For cosmere fans, this is of interest because it will contain the cosmere story Sixth of the Dusk. An early excerpt from the story was unlocked during the Words of Radiance Shardhunt, and can be found here. We also know that the Shardworld where it takes place is called "First of the Sun".

Other stories, which we suspect are in it because they were all brainstormed on Writing Excuses are:Mary's, with a tidally-locked moon, Dan's military fantasy called I.E.Demon (not totally sure about this one), and

Howard's. Again, we're not sure these are the stories that will be included, but it does seem like a reasonable guess. The formal announcement should clear things up.

Pricing will be $25, and you can get it either signed, or signed and personalized, like all books from Brandon's store. It's not certain whether it can be signed by the other Writing Excuses team.

Thanks masaru and WeiryWriter for critical research for this!

Yeah, July 3rd is accurate. Man, I can't wait. I wish I could get it. Some day I will have expendable income again lol. Still haven't read either of the Steelheart books and probably won't get to read Firefight for a while either.

 

I would love to read those stories that they always reference on Writing Excuses. I'm having a hard time remembering Howard's though. Was that the horror story he had put a piece of online for?

Even more confirmation about the release date, Dan Wells just said on Do I Dare to Eat a Peach that Writing Excuses has a surprise planned for next week.  Also explains why none of them have talked about it yet
