My goal will probably be to do them during the same break where I do Bands of Mourning revisions. The book just got sent in, and editorial revisions will likely be due late this summer. The date isn’t set yet we’re talking with Random House about this right now. Calamity (the final book of the Reckoners).

(So I’ll need to take a break from Stormlight when they arrive.) Will probably be due in two or three months. Set for January 26th and up for preorder now! The final revision notes not yet back from the editor.

The Bands of Mourning (Mistborn Era Two, Book Three).

Set for October 6th and up for preorder now! Working on final revisions currently. Shadows of Self (Mistborn Era Two, Book Two).The books that you personally love are made stronger by me dividing my time.Īnticipated work and release dates of future books are: I realize many of you would rather I just stick to one project-but time has proven to me that my writing is stronger if I keep a variety of stories moving through my brain. Thanks, as always, for your support and patience. Things will go better if I get this Mistborn revision done first, however, since we’re not far away from that one actually getting released. I know a lot of you are waiting for this, and I’m eager to get to it. June 15th or earlier, then, will mark my official start of work on Stormlight Three. (Mmm… Dark Souls games…)Īnyway, as you can see from the progress bars on my website, I’m already halfway through the Mistborn revision, so I may finish ahead of schedule. So, there’s no rest for me this time around, despite wanting to someday have a chance to play Bloodborne. It’s time for the editorial and beta reader edits for that book, which is due into Tor in its (mostly) final form June 15th. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) someone just shoved another full plate at me: Mistborn, Shadows of Self. I’ll probably end up doing one to two more drafts on this book after alpha readers (my family, writing group, editor, and agent) and then beta readers (who are carefully selected by my assistant Peter) have a look at it.īut for now, my Reckoners plate has been cleared. So, huzzah! The book, and the series, is a wrap. (In this case, the book was clean enough that I did it during, doing about a 5% cut along the way to tighten the language.)

I often do a polish and trim during or after this. As I’ve said before, my second draft of a story is the one where I do “bug fixing.” Essentially, I read through again and tweak any problems I know the book has, trying to make it readable by my editor. I have finished the second draft of Calamity, the third and final book of the Reckoners trilogy.
