Brandon Sanderson teaches Fantasy Writing and Worldbuilding

·

If you regularly read The Worldbuilding School then you’ll know that I’m a big Brandon Sanderson fan. Especially his view points on worldbuilding and writing. So to find two of his lectures published on Youtube is too great an opportunity to miss sharing, even if they are 4 years old.

The reason I’m a fan is that Brandon Sanderson really knows the craft of writing novels and building worlds, plus he’s interesting to listen to.

Below are two lectures he did at JordanCon 2010 and in both he talks about the art of writing and how to build your world through writing. Well worth a watch for anyone interested in writing stories and building worlds.

P.S. I’ve included them as playlists so you should be able to click play on the first video and it’ll play the whole lecture.

  1. Thanks for posting this, it is proving rather helpful for me in my own writing! A couple of my friends had also been suggesting his novels to read, so it is interesting to get an idea of how he manages to write novels that can get such good report.

  2. If you haven’t seen this yet, check out http://www.writeaboutdragons.com/. Recordings of Brandon’s lectures at BYU in 2013.
