Wheel of Time tweetup with Brandon Sanderson!

Wheel of Time tweetup with Brandon Sanderson!

Poster Placeholder of - 64When: Monday 11/8 from 1:30 PM — 2:30 PM (EST)

On his last day on tour for TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT, Brandon Sanderson (@brandonsandrson) will be stopping by Twitter for an hour to discuss all things #WoT, #TofM, #WoK, and maybe even #aMoL!  Join Brandon and the rest of us by following the #portalstone hashtag…but be forewarned if you haven’t read, spoilers may be discussed!

We’ll also have another member of “Team Jordan” on-hand: the cagey Maria Simons(@MariaLSimons), Robert Jordan’s literary assistant for 12 years, whose famed poker face could face a sore testing in the twitterverse.  Special guests @Theoryland (Matt Hatch of Theoryland.com), @zemaille (Linda Taglieri of the 13th Depository WoT blog), @portalstones (Steve Godecke of Portalstones.com), and perhaps even @dragonmount (if someone can drag Jason and Jennifer from their day jobs) will also join us.  So brush up those theories and watch out for RAFO cards, I hear Brandon’s getting quite the throwing arm…

If you’re new to Twitter and would like join us, Twitter 101 does a nice job explaining the basics. After you sign-up, search or click the #portalstone hashtag to follow along.  To direct a question or comment, mention the specific user(s) by username, preceded by the @sign.

If you have any questions or problems, your friends here at Tor (@torbooks) and Tor.com (@tordotcom) will be on hand to help.  And possibly, maybe just maybe…give some cool stuff away!

Hope you can join us!

Best,

Justin (@jgolenbo)
