(Click to enlarge. Credit: Richard Jones.) As we shared previously (see the November post about the leak below), the working image for the cover of The Black Prism came out a few months back. Now, I am pleased to release the final cover art for The Black Prism. Releasing new covers is, quite honestly, tricky. From [...]

A graphic audio book of The Way of Shadows (part 1 of 2)  is coming out in April, with installments following it monthly. But Brent, I thought you already have an audiobook. Yeah, I do. But GraphicAudio does something different. GraphicAudio performs books with actors and sound effects and a sound track. The books ARE [...]

A quick update after the close of the Worldbuilders 2009 fundraiser for Heifer International: donations totaling $128,866!! Way to go people! A big thanks to Pat Rothfuss and his assistant Valerie for organizing and packaging all the prizes (and for having the awesome idea in the first place).  Glad to be a part.

Please check out Patrick Rothfuss‘s 2009 fundraiser for Heifer International. It’s a great charity and Pat is doing his best to bankrupt himself by matching 50% of all donations. There’s signed Night Angel stuff up for grabs and an interview between Pat and me coming soon. I’m all about bankrupting Pat, so please give generously.

So here I am, writing a book, trying to stitch together a subplot, when I oh-so-innocently launch Twitter. (Always a mistake. Always.) Turns out I have just been scooped. Some blogger posted my new, not-yet-supposed-to-be-released cover. In short order, in the way of the internet, so had someone else, with mild snark added. I’m not [...]

Like Punxsutawney Phil, Brent will soon be poking his head out of his hole. Except he’ll do it in November instead of February. Brent would be delighted to meet you, sign your books, and chat with you at Borderlands Bookstore in San Francisco, California on Monday, November 2nd or at Powell’s Books at Cedar Hills [...]

Between my belabored French and Google Translate, it looks like Le Choix des Ombres is being released in France this month, August. Again, Prix Imaginales winner Frederic Perrin has done a marvelous job with the cover art. Thank you, Frederic and Bragelonne!

PLAZA, a Random House Mondadori imprint, has just acquired the world Spanish language rights, hoping to publish all in 2011. The way I understand how this is likely to work is that they will release in Spain, and depending on sales, will export to other Spanish language markets. They even can export to the US, [...]

Newton and Compton has recently acquired Italian language rights for the Night Angel trilogy. Newton and Compton are planning to publish The Way of Shadows in the spring of 2010, with Shadow’s Edge six months later, and Beyond the Shadows in early 2011. I love Italy.

What’s better than hearing your favorite writer geek out about writerly stuff? Hearing ME geek out about writerly stuff. What’s better than that? An epic MMA (mixed mental arts) cage match between Joe Abercrombie in the lily white trunks, weighing in at ten stone, and Brent Weeks in the sunburnt red trunks, weighing in at [...]
