Please remember the human.

2. Spoilers not permitted in post titles

Post titles must never reveal spoilers. This includes no direct quotes from the books. Title wording should be vague if necessary. Grey areas are up to the moderators' discretion.

4. Post must be tagged for spoilers

All posts must be tagged to indicate the level of expected spoilers in the link/post and comments. The spoiler scope should include the name of the book or books, such as [Book Name] or [Book Series]. You may also say [No Spoilers] if you don't want any spoilers at all. Be as specific as possible. You can even say [Book Name Ch 34], for example.

5. No excessive reposting

Identical content may not be reposted within, by default, a two week period. This period may be adjusted at the moderators' discretion..

6. Posts must be on topic

Posts must be related to Brandon Sanderson or his works. Posts relating to sensitive topics (such as politics, religions, etc.) will be subject to greater scrutiny. Memes, shitposts, etc. are permitted so long as they are sufficiently relevant. Meta discussions related to the community are generally permitted. Self promotion for money is disallowed. Art, podcasts, videos and other such actual content is allowed.

7. Respect intellectual property

Piracy and copyright infringement are strictly forbidden. With some exceptions, all content must comply with Dragonsteel's licensing and fanart policies. Artwork must be attributed and may not be posted against the artist's wishes. Fan art should be marked as [OC] or credited to the original artist. If AI was used as a tool, please also mark the post [AI: Tool Used], for example [AI: Midjourney].

8. Leaked content is not permitted

Content which is released outside of Brandon Sanderson's wishes is not allowed under any circumstances. Pre-release content publicly released by Brandon, Dragonsteel Entertainment, or a publisher is okay if marked appropriately for spoilers.

Note: Arcanum has a good list of all readings Brandon's done, and the 17th Shard has a good list of all samples of any of his works, so check them out if that's what you're after! The scope of this post is slightly different than either of those, as its goal is to be a list of all Brandon's unpublished books specifically without other things distracting from that aim (and admittedly also to give this instance some starter content :P).

Full Books

These are early works (mostly) from before Brandon got published that are available in their entirety.

The Way of Kings Prime: Full novel with prose download, audio download, and audio streaming options.
Mistborn Prime: Full novel you can request through Brandon's contact form. Fill it out and his team will email you a copy (can take a couple weeks depending on load).
The Aether of Night: Full novel you can request from this 17th Shard thread. Leave a comment and the fine folks over there will DM you a copy (can take a couple weeks depending on load).
Mythwalker (Warbreaker Prime): Unfinished novel posted to Brandon's blog.
The Traveler: Short story read aloud in its entirety. (The only one on this sub-list written after he was published.)
Centrifugal: Short story posted to Brandon's blog.

Samples of "Prime-era" Books

These are early works from before Brandon got published that are available in bits and pieces only.

Dragonsteel Prime:
- Chapter 1
- Start of Chapter 14
- Bridge Four sequence (Chapters 25, 28, 30, 31, 33, 35, & 37)
- Technically the full novel can be found at Brigham Young University's library, but practically speaking most people can't just pop over there even if they do allow non-students to come in.
The Liar of Partinel:
The Final Empire Prime:
- Chapter 1 (Conqueror scene)
- Chapter 1 (Vin scene)
The Sixth Incarnation of Pandora:
- Prologue and Chapter 1

Samples of Upcoming/Potential Books

These are samples written after Brandon got published that have not themselves made it into any book as of yet. Most were simply individual test scenes, although a few have full stories attached that nonetheless haven't been released for a variety of reasons.

† marks works currently planned as part of the Cosmere.

Sixth of the Dusk sequel†:
- Opening
Kingmaker†:
- Prologue and Chapter 1
The Silence Divine†:
- Chapter 1 excerpt
The Apocalypse Guard:
Adamant:
- Chapter 1 excerpt
I Hate Dragons:

Full Drafts of Published Works

While Brandon does readings of a chapter or two for a lot of books, there are a few whose full rough drafts have been made available.

White Sand: Original prose that adapted into the graphic novel. You can get it by signing up for Brandon's newsletter; once you confirm your email it will send you the latest edition, which includes the download link.
Warbreaker: For this book, Brandon experimented with releasing each draft as he wrote it. You can find a list of all versions on his website.

There is one other story I know of which has been partially released, The Eyes (a precursor to Skyward), about fifteen pages of which were posted to the Writing Excuses Patreon. However, in addition to feeling kind of iffy about pointing people to paying $10 for a very small sample from a very rough draft, the tier the file was attached to does not actually exist anymore, so I'm not sure whether subscribing even will give it to you now or not. As such, I've left it off the list.
