Young Bard he/him Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) This is a rough flow chart of what books Brandon has said he would like to create first. It's quite rough, and is subject to change as new information comes in. This is the order of series to be created according to Brandon during his last State of the Sanderson. Something tells me that some of the books like Nightblood won't be seeing the light of day for at least 7-8 years (mind you, that's compared to about 15 years for the average author, or 20 for Pat Rothfuss). Kind of downheartening. Please note, I WILL be editing this as new information comes in, so hopefully it won't be as bad as it can appear. A few quick notes: A = Alcatraz Series Edited October 11, 2015 by TheYoungBard 8
vineyarddawg Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I love the idea! Brandon is already working on Calamity, though, so you should put that up beside SA3. Actually, he's said he's going to finish Calamity before he writes SA3 this year, so it could actually even go above it. My guess is that we'll see at least one more Mistborn "Era 2" book before SA4, as well.
WeiryWriter he/him Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 What is Adamant? The Lurker (now renamed Adamant) I’ve finished a novella set in this science fiction world. For those who want more SF from me along the lines of my two novelettes, this should be coming someday. I don’t have time for revisions right now, but I plan to tinker with the story again next year sometime between Stormlight 3 drafts. (source)
Young Bard he/him Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) New information. Source First off: Calamity (the first draft of it, anyway) is done. Second: Once Calamity Skybreaker (sorry, mistake on my part) is finished, he intends to work on either the Aztlanian (Rithmatist 2), or The Lost Metal (Mistborn 7). These changes have been added to the chart. Edited May 10, 2015 by TheYoungBard
natc Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Already writing Lost Metal and Shadows of Self isn't even out yet lol. 1
Zas678 he/him Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I'm pretty sure the 1980s Mistborn is coming BEFORE SA 6-10. Other than that, looks great! Don't forget about Alcatraz 5 too, which is due to come out next yearish.
WeiryWriter he/him Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Already writing Lost Metal and Shadows of Self isn't even out yet lol. I'm pretty sure TheYoungBard just typoed on that. His next project is Stormlight 3, once /that/ is finished he will be moving on to (preferably) The Aztlanian and then The Lost Metal. And Zas is right about the 1980's Mistborn coming before the back five of Stormlight, Brandon has said that time and time again. And Alcatraz is due out next May/June (since the re-releases will likely be starting in January at one per month).
Young Bard he/him Posted May 9, 2015 Author Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Now introducing Flow Chart 2.0. Sorry if it's a little illegible, I'll keep the first one up until I can increase the quality. The second one shows approximately when we can expect certain books between now and 2020 to appear on shelves, as well as what Brandon is likely to be working on. Please note, that while the Flow Chart of what has to go before what is all WoB, the times are approximations and the 'What Brandon's working on' section is a complete guess from about 2017. Books expected to be released after 2020 I haven't shown approximate dates for, because it's just too hard to guess that far away in time. Edited May 9, 2015 by TheYoungBard
Young Bard he/him Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) New information (Well, clearer old information at the very least, and updates for times). Edited information: Calamity is being pushed back to Christmas 2016. Alcatraz 5: The Dark Talent due in 'Summer, 2016 sometime'. Edited October 11, 2015 by TheYoungBard
Young Bard he/him Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 More new information. Well... not exactly new. Calamity's release date has been around for a while, but I've only gotten around to adding it now.
Young Bard he/him Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Shadows of Self is out. Removing that from the "to be published" column.
Avivsm Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 What is the source if the two Mystery Cosmere series? 1
Young Bard he/him Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 What is the source if the two Mystery Cosmere series? His last State of the Sanderson. Unsurprisingly, I have other projects in the back of my mind. For example, I have two more Cosmere series that will need to be written before we can get to the third “big” Mistborn trilogy. (The sf one.)
Shardbearer he/him Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I didn't realize Rithmatist 3 was confirmed. Last I heard he still wasn't sure if it would take 2 or 3 books to complete.
Young Bard he/him Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Technically, it's not confirmed. But let's face it. This is Brandon we're talking about here... It will probably be 3 books. And that is completely fine by me. EDIT: He usually mentions what his general plan is at signings. If any of you know something I don't, can you please post it up here so I can update this? Edited November 9, 2015 by TheYoungBard
Young Bard he/him Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 Just now, Shimmy said: any new updates for this? thanks young bard I kind of forgot all about this. In Brandon's last State of the Sanderson, he posted an ETA for the Cosmere Books up to 2022, which is about the same distance I was prepared to speculate on, so I don't really have anything else to add. While the ETA's out slightly due to Stormlight 3 being delayed since then, in general that's still the most accurate source of information. The next State of the Sanderson (assuming he sticks to his regular pattern) will be up in a couple months, so if he doesn't give another ETA for the books I'll revive this to try and give it a go.
