Blog Release Party Skyward Starsight

Adam here. We are only three weeks away from the release of Starsight and its coinciding party. As we’ve said before, if you’re hoping to get a personalized copy of one of Brandon’s books this holiday season, your only opportunity will be at the Starsight release party on November 26th.

This will be a ticketed event but free tickets are available, though they don’t guarantee you a seat. More on this later.

The party starts at 6:00 p.m. at Mountain View High school in Orem, Utah and will include:

    • Games, prizes, and swag
    • Starsight photo booth and cosplayer photo booth.
    • Author reading
    • Artist booths for Bryan Mark Taylor, Howard Lyon, Miranda Meeks, and Steve Argyle.
    • Merchandise booths with the Brandon Sanderson Store, Barnes & Noble, and Badali Jewelry.
    • Other booths featuring the Lightweaver Foundation (more on this below), 17th Shard, and Wandering Game Nights.

The Lightweaver Foundation, which is Brandon’s charitable foundation, will be doing a book drive for the Road Home Library in Salt Lake City. So if you have any books you’d like to share, they’ll be doing a raffle (with each book being worth one ticket) for a “Mega” Sanderson gift basket. They also accept cash and card donations. We know books are heavy and you probably won’t want to tote them around the party, so we are providing an easy dropoff box next to the ticketing office, or we can send a helper with you to get them from your vehicle.

We are providing several different ticketing options for attendees but be sure to get your tickets soon as online ticket orders will close on November 23rd at 11:30 p.m. (MDT)

Adam here. In recent years, when Brandon releases a new book, we have offered a limited quantity of signed and numbered copies to Weller Book Works—a local book seller—to ship copies around the world for people who are unable to attend the release party. Starting with Oathbringer, we opted to turn this into a fundraising event by asking for small donations that will be sent to Worldbuilders—a geek-centered nonprofit supporting humanitarian efforts worldwide—which you should definitely check out.

Brandon’s art director Isaac here. My ten-year old daughter—nicknamed “W”—has been reading Skyward in preparation for the release of Starsight on November 26th. She’s read plenty of books before, but this is the first time I’ve seen her dive into something this hefty. Of course, I’m terribly proud of her for reading a book that’s over 500 pages.
