dayman Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 How many drafts does he have to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeldancer he/him Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Idk. I'm just hoping he will finish it quickly so he can get around to writing the lost metal or something!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagerunner he/him Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 There are quite a few more drafts to go. Everything Peter and Brandon have said so far on social media indicate that they're still on track for a November release. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kered he/him Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 When you go the book store in the Google play store, they have Oathbringer in there labeled with a November release. Obviously this might not be all that reliable. Also when Brandon posted the State of Sanderson blog, he said he was approaching the drafts in a different way than the past SA books. This could be evidence that the deadline might be fairly certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windrunner he/him Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 The November deadline is basically locked in. It could shift a small amount, but will not change drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedshaman Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I belive brandon said somewhere that there is 5 drafts to do. Also think he said something about it being a November release even if it is finished early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herald he/him Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Peter said that the third draft undergoes major changes and goes to the beta readers. Fifth draft goes to the copyeditors. (Source: Reddit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerionBFII he/him Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I heard he does the 4th & 5th drafts together? Is that real or just a symptom of SA withdrawal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the answer to that one offhand but we know with Oathbringer that he changed up his usual process and did second draft revisions in the course of writing the first draft. And yeah, he's been committed to a November release for a while now. It's unlikely to be moved up even if he finishes everything early (extra time to go over everything or just to account for unknowns never hurts, especially when you've already told everyone to expect a particular month) and I think he's got a good enough handle on everything after ten years to know that it's not likely to take him much longer than he's already planned for now that he's at the point in the writing process where things stand today.
