Brent Weeks is an American author known for his epic fantasy novels filled with intricate plots, dynamic characters, and a deep understanding of human nature. Weeks began his writing career in 2008 with his debut novel "The Way of Shadows," which became a bestseller and marked the beginning of his hugely popular "Night Angel" trilogy. He followed this up with the "Lightbringer" series, which is set in a unique world of magic, politics, and religion, and features an intricate magic system based on color.

What sets Brent Weeks apart from other fantasy authors is his ability to create complex, morally ambiguous characters who struggle with their inner demons and face difficult choices. His stories are not just about epic battles and magical powers, but also explore themes such as love, betrayal, redemption, and the nature of power.

In this conversation, we go through the many obstacles that any writer faces, and watch carefully because Brent is very realistic about the job, the kind of market is out there, and how tiresome the act of writing professionally can be.
