I saw you mentioned it before, but did not provide a source. If you want people to "get that in their heads" you need to provide a source. Also I think many people would consider Mistborn era two young adult even if I am unsure that Brandon has made that leap. It's the third post on page 5 of this thread. Quote “It’s something I’ve been planning for a while,” Sanderson says. “It’s another YA project, but I’m only 10 chapters into it—not even that far. So I don’t even know if this one will work out.” https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/11/brandon-sanderson-the-apocalypse-guard.html Edited November 9, 2017 by StormingTexan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Ah thank you @thegatorgirl00 and @StormingTexan that was very helpful. I saw the article but I guess for some reason I missed that part. Thanks again for the source! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightlord M. Alhstrom Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) And just in case we want another source. And more specifically this paragraph: Quote The thing Brandon is working on instead of Apocalypse Guard is the Mystery Project. (This is probably why Brandon said he would need to wait till State of Sanderson to talk about it, since Apocalypse Guard didn't turn out the way he would like.) The Mystery Project is another YA novel, and though it is a project he's been planning on for a while (though it is not Dark One), he outlined it over the course of three days. He's keeping a lid on it because it might not also come out. Hopefully it goes well and we'll hear all about it soon.

Nat Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Brandon's Bio on Penguin Random House, September 9th: Quote Brandon Sanderson is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Reckoners series: Steelheart, Firefight, and Calamity and the e-original Mitosis, The Apocalypse Guard, the internationally bestselling Mistborn trilogy, and he was chosen to complete Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. His books have been published in more than twenty-five languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide. Brandon's Bio on Penguin Random House, today: Quote Brandon Sanderson is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Reckoners series: Steelheart, Firefight, and Calamity and the e-original Mitosis, Skyward, the internationally bestselling Mistborn trilogy, and he was chosen to complete Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. His books have been published in more than twenty-five languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide. So I'm guessing we're getting Skyward. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'm with @Nat. Skyward goes back to State of the Sanderson in 2013, so it has definitely been something he has been planning for a while. He said it was YA and non-cosmere, and it would therefore be something he could publish in place of the Apocalypse Guard. The fact that it shows up on his bio on their website is pretty much a clincher to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nat Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Science-Fiction era Cosmere YA. That's literally all we know about it, as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyora Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) @Herowannabe Here's the link: https://brandonsanderson.com/state-of-the-sanderson/ (State of the Sanderson, July 2013) And this is the part on Skyward:Skyward. (Working title.) Young Adult cosmere novel. In the early stages of development. Probably a few years off.

Pagerunner Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Why is it being called sci-fi? Because "Skyward" is reminiscent of outer space? Or is it being conflated with Adamant, a sci-fi story that Brandon may set in the cosmere? EDIT: Never mind, it's called sci-fi here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Cosmere? Yes please! I'm still kind of sad about it not being Dark One though. Interesting question: would there be any effects of having Cosmere stories published from different companies (Tor and Penguin)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shqueeves Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 The title "Skyward" makes me think about LoZ Skyward Sword, which makes me think about the Master Sword, which makes me think about Shardblades, which makes me excited for OB. HYPE for OB! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormingTexan Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 A cosmere scifi short story would be awesome. Hope this is it but I feel like it is going to be something none of us are expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about ES being a different publisher since I have the AU edition. I wasn't counting Dynamite in the Cosmere publishing since Tor, as far as I know, doesn't have a graphic novel division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 We actually streamed it! Brandon said that if you plan to attend a signing, don't listen to this so you can experience it yourself. But here it is if you are not planning to go to a signing: https://www.facebook.com/17thShard/videos/1910398742333428/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I believe that some of the later books (Era 2 and AU so far) are published by Gollancz despite most others being done by Tor, although I believe it is only outside the US (at the very least UK versions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
