    Science fiction and fantasy author Brandon Sanderson (Wheel of Time) has released a free lecture series on Youtube. The series covers what he considers to be the fundamental tools you need to write a sci-fi fantasy novel. The lectures cover world-building, plot and character development, and publishing- among other things. 

    The series is based off of a class that he took while attending Brigham Young University. The writer attributes much of his literary success to the class, stating:


    “If you could point to a single moment in my career that was the most influential in me actually getting published, it was probably taking this class in 2000.”


     Sanderson took over the class at BYU in 2004 and has been teaching it ever since. 

    What to expect

    Each installment of the free lecture series focuses on one aspect of writing and is about one hour long. The author offers more advice and insight into his writing processes on his website. He updates followers on the status of current works in progress. He even has portions of rough drafts up so you can see his failed attempts. A comforting sentiment for any aspiring author.
