James Patterson

"My audience ranges from college professors to presidents to people who take in laundry."

James Patterson is one of the best-known and biggest-selling writers of all time. His books have sold in excess of 385 million copies worldwide. He is the author of some of the most popular series of the past two decades – the Alex Cross series, Women’s Murder Club, Detective Michael Bennett and Private novels – and he has written many other number one bestsellers including romance novels and stand-alone thrillers.

He has won an Edgar Award, ten Emmy Awards, the National Humanities Medal, and the Literarian Award from the National Book Foundation, and he’s still not showing any signs of slowing down. He was the first person to sell a million ebooks, and he has now published more than 200 novels in the past 50 years.


Meet James Patterson

James Patterson was born and raised in New York. He earned a BA in English from Manhattan College, and followed that up with a Masters in English from Vanderbilt
University.

He spent some time as an advertising executive, but eventually left the industry to focus on writing. According to an article he wrote for NPR in 2009, his greatest inspiration for writing was Mrs. Bridge, a classic 1959 novel by Evan S. Connell.

James is passionate about encouraging children to read. Inspired by his own son who was a reluctant reader, he also writes a range of books for young readers including the Middle School, I Funny, Treasure Hunters, Dog Diaries and Max Einstein series.

James has donated millions in grants to independent bookshops, given more than a million books to school students, and has been the most borrowed author of adult fiction in UK libraries for more than a decade. He lives in Florida with his wife and son, and has also donated more than $35 million to his and his wife’s alma maters.
