In 2016, the American media company DMG Entertainment licensed the movie rights to Sanderson's entire Cosmere universe, but the rights have since reverted back to Sanderson. In 2008, Sanderson started a podcast with author Dan Wells and cartoonist Howard Tayler called Writing Excuses, involving topics about creating genre writing and webcomics. He created Sanderson's Laws of Magic and popularized the idea of 'hard magic' and 'soft magic' systems. Sanderson has created several graphic novel fantasy series, including White Sand and Dark One. He is also known for finishing Robert Jordan's high fantasy series The Wheel of Time.

Outside of the Cosmere, he has written several young adult and juvenile series including The Reckoners, the Skyward series, and the Alcatraz series.

He is best known for the Cosmere fictional universe, in which most of his fantasy novels, most notably the Mistborn series and The Stormlight Archive, are set.
