Brandon Sanderson is an author on the Campbell ballot for best new science fiction author; he's got a four-book deal with Tor and a four-book deal with Scholastic, but he's ahead on both and has started a new book. Given how long it will take for that book to see print, he's started posting his chapters-in-progress to his site. He says, "I think it will be a fun experience to see what kind of advice/criticism fantasy readers will give if they can see a book's progress from its conception."
(Thanks, Brandon!)
Update: Chris sez, "as another Campbell-nominated author this year, I'm also fielding chapters-in-progress of the space opera I'm currently writing, Beyond the Threshold, which I'm posting on my blog. While I've got books coming out in the next few years from Viking, Pocket, and Pyr, this one is something of an experiment, a spec novel that doesn't yet have a home, so I'm putting the chapters in the public view to help me guage reader reaction. The response so far has been interesting, to say the least."
