Brandon Sanderson Changed My Creative Journey

In 2019, Brandon Sanderson visited Israel. By then, I was wholly obsessed with his book series — Stormlight Archive — and brought the three books I had for signing.

I didn’t have much time while he was signing my books, but I did tell him about my friend who got better after I bought him Sanderson’s books.

And he told me, “thank you for giving my books as gifts. It means a lot to me.”

And that made me think how amazing it would be to one day be in his place, thanking readers who bought my books for their friends.

Until I met Brandon Sanderson in person, my writing dreams were still dreams. After I met him, they became ambitions.

Thank you, Brandon.
