The books are a mystery: Backers know next to nothing about the books–literally all we know is that 3 of them are in his extended “cosmere” universe and 1 isn’t (plus some partial art covers).It’s reinforced by his communication and transparency through his blog (where he famously charts the status of each of his projects) and YouTube channel.Ĭlearly I’m not alone–so far, over 73,000 other backers also trust Sanderson enough to back the project despite the following methods that probably wouldn’t work for most other creators: That trust comes from Sanderson consistently delivering books I love, year after year (he’s one of the few authors for whom I’ve read enough books to compile a top 10 list). But perhaps like you, I didn’t hesitate to back the project (at the $40 ebook level ) for one key reason: I have a very high level of trust in Brandon Sanderson as an author and a content creator. It’s a rather fascinating project, as Sanderson does a lot of things that probably wouldn’t work for most other creators–I’ll get to those aspects in a moment. Even more of a surprise was the Kickstarter campaign he launched for those books, which has raised over $18 million in less than 48 hours. On Tuesday, prolific author Brandon Sanderson surprised fans like me by announcing that he had written 4 extra books (beyond his normal publishing obligations) during the pandemic.
