Scribbler - 2011
« on: August 25, 2010, 11:39:43 PM »
@Peter:

So is it true that Scribbler is going to be published by Tor next year? Is this what Brandon's going to work on during his WoT break?

Brandon hasn't announced such a thing.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

All I've seen on the subject is Moshe Feder's tweet about buying it that Peter RT'd a few days back. Also, one year from purchase to publication would be an insane turnaround, so I doubt it's a 2011 release.

Moshe Feder:  is delighted to announce his acquisition of SCRIBBLER, a new YA fantasy by Brandon Sanderson to be published in Fall 2011 by Tor!

A one-year turnaround isn't insane when it's a short book that's already had three drafts (though it needs another one or two). And the publisher is Tor, who really wants a Brandon Sanderson book to put out next year.

I will be the first in line.  I've read the early chapters of it, and loved every moment of it!

Are the early chapters for Scribbler online somewhere that we could wet our appetite with? Not that we haven't had tons of wetting from WoK previews.

Oh so this is coming out!  I just remember reading once that Brandon said it turned out badly.  I guess he meant it wasn't up to his standards yet, as opposed to "this story totally sucks."

It is a great story. I have read it and quite enjoyed it.  I think it will sell well.

Brandon has always been happy with Scribbler as being a good early draft, but he recognized some problems that need fixing. It was Liar of Partinel that turned out bad.

No you won't.  I wasn't able to get time off for WoK and Scribbler is my very favorite of his books.  Even if I have to quit my job and sell a kidney I will be first in line for that one.

I seem to recall some plans you had to act out the magic. That is awesome. Also, soon I will be able to understand what the heck you were talking about in that thread. :P I'm pretty psyched from what I've heard.

Yeah, we were going to do it at the WoK release but we decided to wait until the Scribbler release.
