Is the Wandering Inn moving towards the Yonder model? 13:37 How much do the preferences of fans factor into what characters you decide to focus on/what chapters to write? 17:32 How much between now and the end of the story do you have planned out? 18:24 Can you give an estimate for how many more years you will be writing the Wandering Inn? 19:30 Do you still read books?

Thanks for doing this!

We respect your privacy pirate! Happy to support you!

I respect her privacy as well but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t crazy curious!

yeah Wheel of Time is my all-time favorite series and I had no idea.

@@jasonvizcarra709yeah his name is James Oliver Rigney Jr.

[@vincede4063]

I love the emotion Andrea puts into this, and it’s a really fun experience to hear more about the world’s most mysterious and our favorite author. Thanks everyone who made this possible, I’m not even half way through and having a blast

[@Tsuki_Itsubi]

This is so exciting! The Wandering Inn is my favorite series of all time. No story has ever invoked such powerful and wide arrange of emotions.

[@shaneburns1705]

No door... I can't even imagine - but amazing series and can't wait to keep reading for the next 42 years ;P

[@incinerativemario]

Hey this was fun! Seeing my meme-art in such a well put together vid is so surreal.

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

Thanks for making great art!

[@RanaAgens]

I"m a longtime fan of TWI and it's great to see Pirate, Assistant and Andrea collaborate on this interview! It answers a lot of questions that I'd sort of had partial ideas about, but lacked context for the bigger picture.

[@marioleon762]

Clicked to see how paba would format it, stayed for the content

[@TheArchersArms]

That is exactly how i found TWI, i just found it, liked it, caught up on the audiobooks, then caught up on the written stuff online...... now im a reddit admin..... its a great rabbit hole to fall down lol 😆

[@AtomixIGN]

I bought the Audiobook for TWI when it came out because... It was long. I was up-to-date and by the time the next audiobook came out. At some point I wrote twenty-five thousand of my own words retelling one of my own stories in pirate's world. This has been surreal.

[@TabularConferta]

I spent the first minute going "I recognise that voice", then it hit me. What an excellent idea Pirateaba to get Andrea. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the interview.

[@DovusHootus]

I'm so hyped that Grave song might come to audible! I'm dyslexic and really struggle to read, i love the wandering inn audio books! They are one of my all time fave fantasy worlds , and i love Andrea's narration so much. Thank you Pirate and Andrea! Please keep publishing!

[@arsenypogosov7206]

How do dyslexic people type?

[@davidgrice6599]

​@arsenypogosov7206 a lot of them have no problem typing, they know the words and how they are spelt, it's reading that's normally the issue, words blur and are hard to read, but dyslexia makes novels nearly impossible to get through.

[@Ocaniphermus]

Thank you for gifting your world to us, Pirate. You seriously have created a platform that made a real difference in my life. Your words have been a light in the dark.

[@monicaharris6398]

Thanks to you for enhancing my life with literal days of these magical tales! Thanks to Andrea too! Her voice work is so amazing! I’ve listened up to #9 and it still amazes me all of the people I love from this story are her!! Your output is amazing!! How you imagine and produce such imaginative content amazes me. Thank you again!

[@ShelfCentered]

That was unique and awesome. I thought that was a really fun way to do an interview and it totally worked really well (I questioned at first!). I would honestly love to see more like this and totally understand the desire to stay anonymous. I have way too much of an ego I think to ever stay anonymous but luckily I won't have that problem!

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

LOL!

[@welshwoman5535]

I discovered TWI earlier this year and purchased on audible. I know I could have got the content for free but the narration is so good and the author deserves payment for her hard work. I’m already on book 8 and I can’t stop reading/listening. The characters and story has captured my heart. I’ve searched for more content but there’s little out there apart from the discord channel. So big thanks for this interview it’s great to hear from Pirateaba through Andrea Parsneau and I totally respect her decision for anonymity. I’m sure this series will have the success it deserves soon

[@mikochild2]

Same. I discovered it on audible. Couldn't wait for the next one so I went to read the webseries. But I continue to buy the audio books to support the author, and I LOVE the narration!

[@stuffbenlikes]

Been reading TWI since 2018, I love every chapter.

[@8had0w96]

Such a great interview Matt. Thanks for bringing us this content. I started reading TWI because of your videos and now I'm nearing the end of volume 7. I think I speak for all of your TWI viewers when I ask: when will you start reading the Volume 5 books? Looking forward to your review since those have been my favourite books so far.

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

I'm reading my next TWI book next month!

[@AGuyNamedZach]

I appreciate all the effort that was put into the video. Being able to hear from Pirate Aba (in a manner of speaking) was incredibly fun. The Wandering Inn is such a fun series with so many fun plot points and characters. I wish PA the best of luck moving forward in all their endeavors.

[@ahlamhossain7906]

Pirateaba is adorable! ❤❤❤ I read web novels but mostly the translated ones from Chinese, Japanese and Korean web novels.

[@faustianbargains]

Yippie!!! Just finished book two last week and I loved it! I will definitely be moving on with this series and hope it NEVER stops. Thanks Pirateaba and Matt

[@aSoreEd]

I loved pirates final comment there about just coming to the story with no idea what its about or how long it is, falling in love with it, and then finding out how long it is and being very happy. Is exactly what happened to me. Still finished it way too quickly though :(

[@chrislafeken]

omg Typo-Murderer is my favorite title now. I wanna be a Typo-Murderer for Pirate !

[@sorryman105]

Good luck! Go join the stream folks and contribute.

[@skylerwolf]

😂OMG Assistant is killing it with the details. Typo-murders in times of old campfire stories had me dying. Seriously though, I'm super grateful for The Wandering Inn. Like a really good anime or Manga, the story can be cute and comforting and wholly dark and devastating... it can speak to the truth of so many different characters and ways in which people interact with their world and environment. Pirate Alba seems so nonchalant but they certainly have a sense and grasp of emotional intelligence and psychology. Not to mention comedic timing... it's good to see a bunch of people commenting and wanting to read. I'm dyslexic and I absolutely love the audiobooks, Andrea Parsneau is a Powerhouse of talent. I'm also a huge fan of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading who read The Wheel of Time, I know Robert Jordan was brought up in here and you can feel that sense of richness in the world development, and in the vocal creation of the different characters. I mean how many different ways are there to roll your r's for antonym? 🐜 Baseball chapter anyone? Waiting for June 11th. ❤ Thanks for the interview.

[@SomeoneYouKnow2671]

I never thought this was gonna be a thing, but I absolutely love it!

[@ditheca]

Thanks for daring to interview our favorite invisible author!

[@ricoanthony16]

You know that question of "What you do if you won the lottery?" I would financially back Pirateaba in bringing TWI to the world.

[@cherry-ks9yb]

I love wandering inn so much. I started it in July, and I’m almost caught up now. It’s so long but so worth it

[@dinocollins720]

This was super cool! I can't believe you pulled this off Matt!

[@moev29]

Wondered how you managed this. Turned out very cool and fun! Great job, Matt. It was enjoyable to feel a little like we connected with Pirateaba. I appreciate their desire for anonymity.

[@faye396]

I found a video of yours Matt recommending the wandering inn and sent it to my partner. He absolutely loved it so now we are listening to the audiobooks together. It’s been wonderful so thank you and Pirateaba. Truly an amazing experience with the excellent voice acting.

[@richardboulanger3393]

Great interview! Thanks for making this happen. I finally caught up with Wandering Inn a month ago, which was a nice accomplishment, I thought. It is a really great series. I love the imagery of the live Patreon reading while they write. That hearkens back to an old AOL chat channel were folks would wwrite fiction and then hand the story off to another person to write for a while. Was called The Forest. Was a neat channel in hte early 90s.

[@Robrono]

Always interesting to hear more about my favorite author!

[@corous7880]

My way of getting into TWI is exactly how Pirate discribed it at the end. I randomly found the first audiobook online and gave it a try. I was absolutely drawn into it by the first couple chapters. Then I realised that there were 3 other audiobooks already finished. Also I found out, that it is just the beginning of the story. I was absolutely hooked and thought to myself: Well, this is gonna be a long and awesome ride.

[@Greyhound53200]

This is as per now my favorite interview! Thank you Pirateaba; thank you Matt; thank you Andrea!

[@joeystett]

So cool, I listen to the audiobooks and this is great, thanks dude!

[@whatyouknowaboutthat2546]

Awesome interview! I love the Wandering Inn. On book 6 atm.

[@kakashihatake454]

Not sure if you’ll ever see this Pirate, but thank you. I’ve only felt the same level of emotion for one other story and it’s one piece. Thank you so much for this wonderful piece of art you’re building. It’s truly inspirational. Not sure if I’ll ever make it as an author but your work ethic is something I’d like to strive towards.

[@JenHerrmann]

Omg! ❤❤❤ I'm up to date with TWI in audio and it's amazing. Pirate love your writing and I Andrea you are Ahhhhhmazzzzingggg!

[@Unalochy]

Wow! What a video, I have just started The Wandering Inn earlier this year through audible and am just starting book 9 "Tears of Liscor". I understand that im early in the story still, but the attachments i have to the characters and world.. by the dead gods I will be sad when I get to the end of what's currently available audible, but inspired by knowing that the next book will come soon. To know that I've only jumped into the massive ocean that is this series only fills me with excitement for the oncoming future! This is my first experience hearing from the auther themselves, and I am completely enamored throughout the conversation. Hearing Andrea Parsneau voice, their words felt appropriate considering I've been hearing her tell the story as if listening "across the campfire" which is so eloquently described as how their story feels told, it is a real treasure. As a newer listener and a big fan, thank you Matt's Fantasy Book Reviews, thank you Andrea Parsneau, and thank you Pirateaba(!) for giving me this heartwarming insight into the creation of what is one of my favorite series I've ever had the pleasure of listening to 💚 GO GOBLINS!!!

[@Bluenamii]

I've been waiting forever for this. Let's go!

What a fantastic interview. I have only heard about The Wandering Inn from your reviews and a Discord but to hear from the author was just wonderful. Thank you. 🙏🏽

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

Of course, glad you enjoyed!

[@vwkflynn]

Haha what a great sort of... convoluted way to do an interview! This is very interesting!

[@petermiller8480]

Thank you so much for this interview, I'm obsessed as well, currently on volume 6. So impressed with Pirateaba. I came across the series when looking for something substantial that would take a long time to consume. Thank you Matt and Pirateaba.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

100% respect Pirates need for privacy

[@Nathaius]

The woman writes at an incredible pace and listen as soon as the books are released. Thankyou for one of the greatest series i have ever read. Keep up the great work.

[@illuser188]

What a wonderful interview! As an avid fan who devours every chapter the day they are published, you asked some great questions that I had long had in the back of my mind and its great to get an answer to!

[@SandroMR118]

I think Pirateaba is smart to remain anonymous. In addition to privacy and other considerations, what can be observed with every form of media is that there will be people who become very obsessive about the work that is created, whether it's music, books, or films.

[@WhisperLafell]

Long time Wandering Inn fan, loved this so much!

[@strangementalitypaperYT]

Her response, "All authors to a degree are anonymous" carries a lot more weight than I think she'll ever realize. In a world full of self-published authors attacking reviewers on X and TikTok, everyone should be a PirateAba.

[@Oneillw2Ls]

Great interview! I discovered TWI through Matt’s channel a few months ago. Thanks Pirate and Matt for putting this together!

[@Jane42.]

Great interview! I have just discovered this amazing series and started with the ebook. After hearing this interview, I will be switching to audio to get more of this talented narrator!

[@constablebrew]

Oh my, her narration is such a treat!

[@nikolasversteeg]

This was actually a really interesting interview to watch. Thanks for doing this Matt! It must really be a dream come true to speak to one of your favorite authors.

[@HowardAltEisen]

More eyes and attention for my favorite webnovel! Glad to see so many people giving it a chance~

[@jerredwalker8297]

Favorite series I have currently ever read, just finish Blood of Liscor and just wanted to thank you Pirate for all the wonderful characters, writing, and pure entertainment. And thank Matt for this interview!! Wish you both the best in life and careers.

[@BelminHxC]

Groundbreaking, well done Matt!

[@harshgarg1448]

Rhanks Matt for such wonderful interview, one of the best authors interview on this platform, I especially admire your editing and various insert of the ai assistant and various TWI artwork, that enhance the experience and engagement of viewers for such elusive author like pirateaba. It is great how candid pirate answered all the questions and make us understand their perspective more comprehensively. Special shouout t Andrea for making this interview possible and providing consistent voice work for pirate's text, they have frankly become the human voice for pirate's world for me.

[@ratakaio3802]

the Wandering Inn is awesome. I bought the audio book for Gravesong couple of weeks back and that got me hooked. The Humor is 150% my kind of humor the characters are likeable and the story is interesting :)

[@Seisoks]

It is a story that will stick with you for life, stories, Anthology. Gravesong is pretty "mild" and written in drip way for the site 😕 Anyway, read it. You won't regret it.

[@heathmotley9675]

Great show. I'm extremely excited that the 1st book will big in physical format. Yahoo!!! Hopefully in 2024.

[@rebeccarogers2234]

Thank you Pirate and thank you Matt! I want Pirate to know that I found TWI and listenened to the first 3 Audiobooks because that was all that was released at that time on Audible, and I loved Erin and the world and when I discovered the word count it was the happiest day.

[@rebeccarogers2234]

Whoops! And thank you Andie and Assistant!

[@seanbester1465]

Best audiobook reader ever right here. By a lot.

[@robmccoy5207]

Just found out about the series in July 2024. I am so glad there is now an Amazon e-book option for these so I can pop them into my Kindle. Don't even worry about publishing physical copies if it's going to put you into a bad contract or financially hurt the business. I'm sure we'd all love to see that huge set of books on the shelf, but we rather you just keep making it longer.

[@2d3e]

God bless you Pirate (and their team) for introducing me into a brilliant world. Bless you too Matt for being one of the few people on KZbin talk about this amazing series. More people really need to check out the Wandering Inn

[@marlyblackwater1413]

TWI has been such a fantastic experience, and I can't wait for more!!

[@robert_lightsong]

What a great interview! I haven’t read The Wandering Inn yet, but I’m heavily considering moving this up the TBR. I fall into the group that needs a physical book. But I will settle for an audiobook 🙂

[@fisrtnamelastname3083]

Read it!!

[@TowerBooks3192]

I just wanna say thank you for writing the wandering inn. Your work and Andrea Parsneau (sorry if I butcher the spelling 😭) is what made me keep my sanity this year during a very brutal semester that ended up badly. I always look forward to listening to the audiobook to and from work and before I do my uni work. Thank you and Andrea.

[@thomassteenkamp4575]

Man this was so well done and keeping Pirates privacy. well done Matt

[@jwcarlson]

Plot Twist: Matt, Pirateaba, and Pirate's assistant are all the same person.

[@ritagaffey6512]

Absolutely LOVE your Wandering Inn series, have listened to every book as soon as released on Audible! Andrea Parsneau is an amazing narrator, one of the very best I’ve had the pleasure of listening read. She is my favorite female narrator. Please keep them coming!!

[@jeremymason7124]

Such a great interview! I’m going to give wandering inn another try, I was just too busy the last time I tried, plus I think I tried too hard to binge it instead of just enjoying the ride. Have a good day Matt!

[@1957DLT]

What a terrific get, Matt! Loved the whole interview.

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@MrKommienezuspadt]

This was awesome, thanks for doing this Matt and everyone else involved. Really great to hear from the author in a more casual format.

[@hairlesswookieify]

Animorphs was a horror story and was shown in one scene with Rachel and a rat…. Definitely horror.

[@fisrtnamelastname3083]

Surprisingly I discovered The Wandering Inn through a random KZbin Short comment...the video talked about the world's longest novels and someone in the comments mentioned it. The name made me curious so I checked it out!

[@aliased1862]

Really exciting interview, can't wait for the next one!

[@monicabielefeldt4448]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series!!❤❤❤ All time favorite books that I have devoured. On the 11th book currently. The characters and stories are so well written and developed AND narrator Andrea Parseau is truly STELLAR. I always recommend this series. Please don’t stop sharing this incredible world and characters. ❤

[@joshramirez7]

How long did it take you to get to where you are at in the series?

[@wilthomas]

this person was like the expert at meeting the word count requirement for an essay or paper back in school.

[@MrPsychopathy]

This was a great interview. Reading TWI has absolutely raised my standards for books. I can no longer get back to reading one dimensional stories told from a single POV that never seem to elicit any emotions from me. If I am not at least shedding a tear or grinning to myself every once in a while, I stop reading the book. Not many books actually get me actually sobbing like TWI sometimes does though.

[@jacobwheelman7846]

I almost didnt want to watch this interview because there was a part of me that wanted to keep the face/voice behind the series a mystery, (which actuallly made me kind of understand why Niers Astoragon acts the way he does) but im very glad I decided to check it out and get a look at the author behind one of my favorite series. also side note im so happy that one of my favorite modern authors also likes my all time favorite author, robert jordan, I dont find many people in day to day life who also enjoy his books and it brings me so much joy that pirateaba also likes them.

[@tia_lenay]

freakin love this series so far. about to start #3 tomorrow :D

[@andybarker8787]

Andrea is incredible her work on the audio books is outstanding!

[@PhilBrillant]

Great Interview ! Top 5 series for me!!

[@edwardbrownlee6746]

I discovered the audiobook first, then looked for TWI online serial. I then joined the Patreon channel. I found it a bit difficult to read anywhere except my computer screen, due to my eyesight. I copied the text to Balabolka and got it to read to me. That made it so much more accessible for me. But I make sure to buy the Audiobooks because Andrea puts in the emotions and Idiocracies of the characters. It becomes so much more enjoyable that way. Another 42 years until you're finished, I may be just short of a century but I'll still be listening🤗

[@KevlarIlluminati]

I was here when you discovered Wandering Inn! ONE OF US! ONE OF US! QUACK!

[@bryanbcd1]

So the duck thing is a thing then?

[@bryanbcd1]

Please explain

[@KevlarIlluminati]

@@bryanbcd1 It's what the Wandering Inn fandom calls ourselves. "Fat Ducks". It originated from one of the memes posted on the WI reddit. But it's shown here in one of the slides. I believe at 18:19. It alludes to the fact that Pirate spoils us with these freaking novella's they post every week. As opposed to the trickle of one page chapters other authors post.

[@DanCarbonell00]

Interview!!!

[@alexvaldiers9788]

This was a great interview. It finally convinced me to start the wandering inn.

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

That's so great to hear!

[@alexvaldiers9788]

Not only that but after analyzing each cover of the the wandering inn, I decided I needed a logo for my Raoke Gang series. And I spent 7 hours designing one that I'm happy with. Regardless if I enjoyed the wandering inn or not, at least I would have learned from Pirateaba and created something that will be beneficial for my own writing career. Thank you so much for organizing this interview. @@MattsFantasyBookReviews

[@kingkarlito]

"fine I think my hope is that someone comes to this story and they don't even know the word count and they just say man I really liked Aaron I really liked finding this story I wish it was long then they look at the word count and they go oh I can read this for a long time no one has like like you know even" this was my exact experience, stumbled upon the first audiobook somehow

[@Edog1337]

Thanks for interview, Matt. You got me into Wandering Inn, and now it is one of my favorite fantasy series of all time! As for the Yonder discussion, I have purchased all of Gravesong on Yonder, but I hate the app and just want to read it on Kindle like the rest of the series; or her own website. Or hell, a non-traditional publisher like Wraithmark Creative....Regardless, I have her graphic novel, Yonder, and have supported her merch store. Can't wait for more of Volume 9.

[@BearSealFactory]

I just listened to 11 audiobooks of The Wanderings Inn in 2 months. I decided to walk while I listened, and lost 20 needed pounds. I am in love with this book series. Hopelessly in love. Ps. Keep that anonymity! People suck. You're kind of like a Vtuber but you write books, lol, which is cool. I hope you do keep going for 42 years. Sorry to make you work, but I need more!

[@BearSealFactory]

Also, what are the K and E chapters?

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

King and Emperor

[@BearSealFactory]

@@MattsFantasyBookReviews I kind of get it for the King, but it's not so bad and I like it in better than out. Sometimes Flos gets a little preachy about being a King, but it's getting better and better with each chapter. The Emperor though is amazing! People have their opinions I suppose. Such a cool interview!

[@ApinofArc]

@BearSealFactory Yay, another emperor enjoyer~ I love his scenes. (I'm actually not a big fan of king though. It just feels like a slog fest that I have to trudge through, I get it's value to the overall story...but I haven't been able to enjoy a lot of him, par a few scenes. His parts just feel like "oh, look at my kingliness. Oh, this is a bad situation, I'll just go and fix it with ease~ but woe is me, I'm a terrible king. But I must do this for my legion of almost stalkerish followers."

[@JRCSalter]

I'm about ten hours into the audiobook of the first volume, and already I'm hooked. I first heard about it due to its length, and I was extremely sceptical that it could be any good considering the short time in which it has been published. But everywhere I went, people were singing its praises. So, I decided to get the audiobook. I usually prefer reading to listening, but I'm already reading five other books and taking about 3 and a half hours a day to get through those. Adding yet another series would cut into that, so an audiobook was the best choice, as I can listen to it while doing mundane tasks where I can't actually read. And now, I'm enjoying it more than any other book I'm reading, and find myself eager to get back to it. I have to pace myself though. The reason I read a lot of books at one time is because I have a tendency to get burnt out on one book/series, or another one catches my eye, and I DNF good books because of this. I have to stick to a schedule because I know what will happen otgherwise; but I really don't want to.

[@sebruchet]

Wow this was so well done by everyone. Thank you so much!

[@diggit67]

19:26 cherry Pratchett?? 23:00 do you like FPS games? 36:32 Feedback Just to let you know I do listen to the eBooks only because I am dyslexic and I cannot read the wandering inn so keep it coming Just to let you know, is my question is audible the best place to go? and just to let you know the audiobook is how I got into it

[@MattsFantasyBookReviews]

Yeah, it's like Terry Pratchett but a lot more fruity!

[@Shoutinthewind]

I haven’t read a physical book in years but if they resealed physical books, I would buy them.
