Page Break Episode 15: Brent Weeks

The fifteenth episode of my new podcast Page Break is now out! In this episode, my guest is author Brent Weeks, known for the Night Angel Trilogy and Lightbringer series, two acclaimed and best-selling epic fantasies.

Brent and I dig pretty deep into the world of an epic fantasy writer—we talk about the bloat experienced by most long series; how writing dark scenes can affect mental health; what Brent is up to next; and how to choose what to remove and what to leave in a story.

Enjoy my conversation with Brent Weeks!


Page Break with Brian McClellan is a collection of casual conversations between me and fellow creative professionals—like two friends sitting down over lunch to discuss career, craft, family, and hobbies.

Authorhood is a quiet sort of minor fame where the person behind the words is often obscured by the works they’ve created. I aim to use this podcast to find out more about my friends and colleagues.

Look forward to weekly conversations with creators like TV writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi, epic fantasy author Robin Hobb, science fiction author Pierce Brown, Twitch streamer Mark Hulmes, and many more!
