Writing Advice

Many writers ask me for advice, so I’ve created this page of resources to help you achieve your writing goals.

Brandon Sanderson’s University Lectures on Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy

I’ll be posting videos of my latest university lectures over the next several weeks as post-production gets finished up. Special thanks to Earl Cahill and his assistants, who filmed and tirelessly edited these. For more information, you can read my blog post on how they came about. Below is a link to the playlist. We’ll be adding it to it at the rate of about one per week until the whole set of lectures are posted.
