Brandon Sanderson has been a busy guy lately. He’s been actively working on the Mistborn screenplay for Apple TV, lending his expertise to board game adaptations, and somehow still finding time to do a weekly podcast and audience update. All of these additional projects mean he hasn’t been working on any new books lately, which he addressed in his latest update on YouTube.
“Ghostbloods I still intend to get back to, probably in July, but I need to be doing some movie stuff right now” said Sanderson, “Ghostbloods is scheduled for December 2028, which means that I need to turn it in December 2026. So, I got about seven months until I need to turn that in. It’s not pressing yet to get to that revision. I did warn you guys I’d be spending a lot of time on Hollywood and indeed I have been spending a lot of time on Hollywood.”
For reference, Sanderson has already stated on his website that he has fully completed the first draft of Ghostbloods. The work that needs to be done is a revision of that draft to get it ready for publish by 2028. Sanderson has continually stated in his weekly updates that while the Hollywood obligations would be taking up quite a bit of time, it shouldn’t affect his book timeline too much.
