This was only the second Patterson book I have ever read, the first one being "Chef". I was surprised when I heard that he has many collaborative books out there. So, I have done a little research on the procedure he follows for this practice. What a lucky break for the co-authors!

Also, because of the exposure their books have received at least one co-author has gone on to write his own line of best selling books.Karen Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497346859460691324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939271308870333669.post-44985150410134856722017-02-03T19:27:55.688-08:002017-02-03T19:27:55.688-08:00On average...how much does he pay his co-authorsOn average...how much does he pay his co-authorsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678600443847141204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939271308870333669.post-38879247554646277642014-05-17T09:42:58.978-07:002014-05-17T09:42:58.978-07:00"He's turned himself into a brand more th..."He's turned himself into a brand more than an author." Perhaps so. As you implied, it can help to study everyone, especially successful writers/publishers/editors, those who can move books off shelves. That advice is kind of like the advice to read both the bad and the good, the popular and the unpopular. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment Nigel. :-)Karen Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497346859460691324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939271308870333669.post-64566193195707234802014-05-16T11:23:04.259-07:002014-05-16T11:23:04.259-07:00That's one of the reasons I don't have a l...That's one of the reasons I don't have a lot of respect for Patterson. He's turned himself into a brand more than an author. But I like his process. Seems like he makes outlining a big part of his work.
