A Next Chapter PANEL at DragonSteel 2024?

In this episode of Next Chapter, we take you behind the scenes as we complete the online application to become panelists and participants at DragonSteel Nexus 2024, Brandon Sanderson's exclusive convention. Join us as we navigate the application process, discuss what topics we hope to cover, and share our excitement about potentially engaging directly with the Cosmere community.
We'll provide insights on how to craft a compelling application, what the convention organizers are looking for in participants, and tips for anyone else looking to apply. Plus, we'll talk about our aspirations for the panels and the discussions we want to ignite among fellow Sanderson fans.
Subscribe to Next Chapter for more updates on our DragonSteel Nexus journey and other book-related adventures. Are you also applying to be a panelist? Let us know your ideas and questions in the comments below.

You'd make great panelists! I hope they pick you guys. I love the idea of casual fans sharing their perspectives. Not everyone has to be an expert to offer their thoughts and opinions.

[@NextChapterYT]

Thank you!! Definitely agree! Sometimes it is nice to have a conversation between everyday fans. We think it could be a lot of fun!

[@Moonadept]

I hope you get it! I would go if I was there! I think it would be awesome for you guys to be in a big bookuber panel, but also could just do one for the "casual" fans.

[@NextChapterYT]

Thank you!! Honestly we would be down to do both! No idea what the final would shake out like but we are super excited and wish you were coming! Thanks for the support :)

[@samuelleask1132]

Yes lads! Really hope you guys get a panel, I’d love to see you live!

[@NextChapterYT]

Thanks!! Fingers crossed but if we get one we’d love to see you there! We may have to organize some sort of meetup during the con regardless… interesting to think about!

[@chelseafrazier1175]

One of the things I wished for more at panels in Dragonsteel last year was crowd engagement, my favorite panels included them! Interesting topics were also great (The panel on Hoid and his magic systems last year was some of the best speculation ever!)

[@NextChapterYT]

This is actually a great idea!! Definitely will take this into consideration if we make it in!

[@ryanskeff]

Y'all with 2toRamble would be an absolute hoot!! best of luck gents

[@NextChapterYT]

Thanks Ryan!! We’re incredibly excited for it!!

[@jakesteimle9850]

If I’d gotten tickets I’d totally come to your panel

[@NextChapterYT]

Still holding out hope they somehow find more space!!

[@jakesteimle9850]

Seriously

[@wiredtoread]

Just commenting to be especially amazing 😅😅 kidding, love your videos, hope you get it, guys.

[@NextChapterYT]

Definitely especially amazing! ;) and thank you!! We’re crossing our fingers big time!

[@Wordhopper1990]

Haha good luck guys!

[@NextChapterYT]

Thanks!! We’re super excited and eagerly awaiting a response from the Dragonsteel team

Panel ideas: Marty. picking a reading order: how I attempted to hack Jayden's brain! Jayden. Picking a reading order: where Marty screwed up!

[@NextChapterYT]

Classic 😂

[@zarasherwood6776]

My personality trait is Brandon Sanderson, my favourite author is Brandon Sanderson, my life is Brandon Sanderson。 Hope you guys get it! Youd be hilarious, I hope they stream it :p

[@NextChapterYT]

Hahaha 😂 Yessssss, totally with you! Thank you! We hope so too!

[@spencerd6126]

I went to the landing page and it did not update to have this episode

[@NextChapterYT]

Right?? They need to update their site for a the big announcement asap! 😉 We hope they pick us! They said decisions on panelists should be made sometime in the summer. So fingers crossed 🤞🏼

[@NextChapterYT]

If you’re talking an about our shows landing page, the KZbin link should be updated now! Sometimes it takes a few hrs… and the Spotify link will be ready soon too, but that one takes longer

[@alexandtahlla2865]

I’m curious how the panelist selection will go, and if it will be separate from the submitted events. Last year my podcast Silverlight Guide to the Cosmere got to host a live recording by submitting a proposal (and we sold out the seats!). I’m hoping this year they’ll still have the community room for submissions in addition to the panels. Crossing my fingers for y’all to get to be panelists, maybe we’ll end up in the same panel!

[@NextChapterYT]

We’re SO curious (and fingers are crossed for sure)! Also that live recording idea is brilliant!! What a fun thing to do and I’m sure the packed house loved it! We’d love to join you in a panel if they give us the chance to!

[@alexandtahlla2865]

@@NextChapterYT It'd be great to be on a panel with y'all! If you get a spot to do a live recording, make sure to check your levels (I did not, and it botched the recording though the live experience was fine). I also heard the Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies had a rough time with their live recording last year due to a laptop issue. My point here being to make sure your setup is good and resilient, I think. If they change it all to panels then we won't have to worry as much.

[@NextChapterYT]

@@alexandtahlla2865 Good to know! Thanks for the tips! A live recording would be super fun but I'm sure I'd be checking things a zillion times if I could! Step 1 for us is just to get in the door :P
