Argent he/him Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 If I remember the signing correctly, Bands of Mourning should come after Oathbringer. So 2017 seems likely.

I know the original date to BoM was November, but... you know. Hype. xD He accidently wrote BoM early so who knows I love how he can "accidently write" something. It's like "Ups I dropped that ink into that stack of paper... ¡Oh, look! ¡A new Mistborn novel!" 1
Orlion Blight he/him Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 If I remember the signing correctly, Bands of Mourning should come after Oathbringer. So 2017 seems likely. I believe you're thinking "The Lost Metal" since "Bands of Mourning" is coming out this January!
+Wax he/him Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Just checked the progress bar on brandon's site. He is at 28 percent. Just makes me think his progress speed means It might be early 2017 when stormlight 3 comes out. This is because brandon will still do side projects. Also, there's a lag between book being completed and it being published (3-6 months). So I am assuming a late 2016 completion with proofreads/editing increasing the time lag to publish date.
Fedcomic he/him Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Another December, another State of the Sanderson. Lot of information on upcoming releases here, plus some insight as to what it's like to be a famously productive writer with an eager (rabid?) fan base.

Angsos Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Wax and wayne was supposed to be a Mistborn short so I wonder if the stormlight novella will stay a novella
Fedcomic he/him Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I like that you named a category: "The Increasingly Fuzzy Future" Well, when I look back at State of the Sanderson posts for previous years, they look to me a bit like a weather forecast. Predictions for this afternoon are pretty solid, predictions for tomorrow are reasonably close, and predictions for next week are really hit or miss. The only thing I'm quite sure of is that El Brandón will continue to pump out high quality fiction at a rate that I wish most of my other favorite authors would try to emulate. 1
DSC01 he/him Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Wax and wayne was supposed to be a Mistborn short so I wonder if the stormlight novella will stay a novella I think the Stormlight novella is a different case altogether. Wax and Wayne came after the first Mistborn arc was completed. It organically grew into something bigger than a short story or novella because it made sense as a way to tell the next chapter in the greater Mistborn saga. Stormlight, on the other hand, has barely begun. A novella growing into a whole series would threaten to derail the main series, at this stage. Think about it: of the ten Radiant orders, only two have been explored in detail. So much of what is going on remains a huge mystery. If you have a side-story that is anything more than a novella, then it's either going to have to start solving that mystery, thereby interfering with the main series, or tell a completely different story. A novella works for telling a completely different story. It fills in some details of the world, makes the whole thing richer... A whole other series wouldn't do that as well, in my opinion. Not now, anyway. After SA5, maybe.
Fedcomic he/him Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Brandon's newsletter came out today, revealing that the secret project alluded to in the State of the Sanderson is a short novel called Mistborn: Secret History. Awesome! And it's already been released as an ebook. Double awesome! http://brandonsanderson.com/books/mistborn/secret-history/ He also says that because Stormlight 3 is very unlikely to come out this year, he will be releasing the Cosmere short story collection, including a new Stormlight novella and maybe a new Stormlight short story as well. Triple awesome! Thanks, Brandon. 1

Rickster Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Hello Arcanum Unbound listing http://www.amazon.com/Arcanum-Unbounded-The-Cosmere-Collection/dp/0765391163 November 8, 2016 Edited February 24, 2016 by Rickster
Fedcomic he/him Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Hello Arcanum Unbound listing http://www.amazon.com/Arcanum-Unbounded-The-Cosmere-Collection/dp/0765391163 November 8, 2016 Sweet! And now they also have White Sand listed, although they're not showing us a cover yet. But now that Amazon is listing release dates for all of these books, it looks like a truly amazing year for Branderson fans. Four new novels, a new graphic novel, a collection of shorts with a new novella (and maybe more), and four old books back in print. Wow! And we're just over two months into 2016! And the man loves surprises! Hold on to your hats, everyone. This is going to be a really good year. Edited March 2, 2016 by Fedcomic
Fedcomic he/him Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 When is White Sand coming out? Volume 1 of the White Sand graphic novel is now available for preorder, here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1606908855. The release date is listed as June 21, 2016. Not sure whether we'll ever see a completely prose novel version published.
Fedcomic he/him Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Wouldn't you know it, we have a new project announced. Or, rather, Brandon has finally revealed the Unnamed YA Series he will be writing after Stormlight 3. It's called Apocalypse Guard, and it's set in the same multiverse as The Reckoners. (Since this means we have multiple book series set on different worlds in a shared setting, there is some speculation that we are witnessing the birth of another Cosmere.) Book 1 is tentatively slated for a 2018 release. You can find a movie-poster-ish thing on Brandon's website, here: http://brandonsanderson.com/the-apocalypse-guard/. Looks great!
+Wax he/him Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I like the sound of new books. Although someone needs to move that %age ticker ahead on stormlight 3.... Barely moved from 44% to 45%.
Glamdring804 Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 There is also the ticker for the Stormlight novella, which is a glorious 1%.
