DSNX26 Featured Guests + Weekly Update
Jun 04, 2026
 It's time for Dragonsteel Nexus tickets to go up. If you aren't familiar with how we do this, in order to try to keep things a little more level, a little more even, and to keep you from sitting in lines waiting, we have a drawing for tickets. We draw huge swaths of you if you've signed up for our mailing list, and then you get a period of time to buy a ticket if you want one, up to four. 
Brandon Sanderson next to Big Ben with the text "Weekly Update: Popping in to London"
Apr 29, 2026
I will be out next week. So expect either no Weekly Update or expect somebody else to be in this chair because I am going to go to a writing retreat where I will work some on the screenplay, but some on just some revisions for Mistborn. And then I will be back for just a brief amount of time and then out to London. So we will see you there—not at the writing retreat—in London.

So exciting stuff. It's time for our first set of Nexus announcements for 2026. All right? So Exhibitor, Panelist, Media and Squire applications are now open. Today is also the launch of the Unbroken anthology on Kickstarter. This is a charity anthology in the sequence with Unfettered and things like that in order to pay for medical bills and things like this. And there is part of the upcoming story, Songs of the Dead, the novel that’s coming out, there's a section from that in there.

What is the Cosmere? In the Cosmere, there was an event 10,000 years ago called the Shattering of Adonalsium. And at the Shattering of Adonalsium, a bunch of deific beings were created that have little bits of this greater, more powerful, god-like individual or being or entity. And the 16 Shards, as we call them, became the forces, the deities, that run the Cosmere, but they are ordinary people who ascended to these powers.
