  • James Patterson is one of the world’s most successful authors, having sold over four hundred million books.
    In this episode James takes us through the challenges of his career and the ‘Eureka moment’ that made him quit marketing and become a full time writer. Having co-authored books with Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton, James explores how to best build relationships, earn trust and the importance of laughter. Having grown-up working class, and gradually made his way to the wealthy upper class, James explains how authenticity is key within his work, and personal, life.
    Finding the thing at the core of everything he does is key to James's work, if he can find the core of every book the story can truly begin. Jake, Damian and James discuss how he keeps an inventory of his strengths and weaknesses, the importance of exploration and the value of education.

    Jim's great, I work with and for Jim @ JWTNY. I was partners with one of his ghost writers Peter DeJonge who put me in one of their books as a BMW salesperson out on Long Island, (I road BMW motorcycles at the time) the book was called Beach House. Jim would show up in your office at that time, talk to you to find out more about you and if it was fruitful Jim would put you in a book. Peter & Jim also wrote Miracle on The 17th Green which they released around Christmas for the avid golf fan which they both are. Jim was always kind, articulate with his critiques and at times brutally honest and he was one of the best I ever was around. Bravo Jim! I'm even more of a fan now than I was when we worked together.

      He’s the only reason anyone watched this, so who cares if he interrupted them. They should have just kept their mouths shut and let him speak.

    My question is specific. Does a written outline qualify for copyright protection? For context, base the response on the book business of James Patterson.
    In the following UA-cam video, we see file cabinets filled with outlines. James Patterson refers to these outlines as "Book Shots". Critical Question: Are these "Book Shots" protected under copyright? (Reference time code 01minute 22 seconds)
    From the pencil of James Patterson

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, does a page-full of words constitute a picture?

      Words make prose/poetry
      Shapes and forms picture
      Two different concepts.

    Well, well, well... I've always enjoyed reading his books, but his personality, I didn't expect that... brilliant, such a great, cool guy. "Well, f*** him, read the book' re Stephen King!

      I don't get it where are you taking a swipe at Stephen King? Personally I wish you would keep his politics to himself

    James Patterson is a smug old man who employs ghost writers and churns out mediocracy under his name. Terrible writer, rather boring speaker and disrespectful too, cutting in on most questions. I couldn't suffer it after 20some minutes... I'm glad that there are authors out there that actually write the books they sell. Patterson is overrated and anyone who read decent fiction will recognize impostors. He is one.

    Didn’t like the constant interruptions from your guest. He will not let you guys finish your questions and sentences. He could be brilliant but it was almost a monologue 🥴🥴🥴
