The Richest Author In The World (James Patterson) Doesn't Write His Novels by kayo80(op):
The world's most successful author, James Patterson doesn't actually write his own books.

He just writes outlines of stories, and he gets an army of writers to write the actual novels, in his writing style.

He has stated that he is simply more proficient at dreaming up plots than crafting sentence after sentence.

He made $95 million from his book sales in 2016 alone. What an interesting way to make money.

He collaborates and mentors young writers. He has been a target of criticism for this action. This is the consequence of people's desire for a celebrity in whatever field.
