Sorry it’s just extremely funny to me that this man looks at this and thinks he’s oppressed

look i worked in publishing briefly and i am probably not allowed to say this because i'm sure i signed something in my hr paperwork that said so, but also: It is the biggest open secret in the industry that james patterson absolutely does NOT write his own books, he writes his ideas and some very detailed chapter-by-chapter outlines and then some other author, the ones who are credited in the books as co-authors, are the ones that actually write the words that you wind up reading on the page and like, okay i guess, but can you imagine having THAT as your career, so easy you don't even have to write your own books other authors hungry for a paycheck and some exposure write them for you after you come up with the idea, and still you think this fucking industry is biased against white men

just so we're clear, shit talking of James Patterson over this comment wasn't just because he doesn't write his own books and yet is wildly successful

its also because he had a pretty successful imprint that published lots of first time authors (many of whom were women and/or POC) who published under their own names and not his, and then without warning it was turned into an imprint that solely published books that he "wrote" in collaboration with other people.

like not only is he a wildly successful white guy who thinks he is being discriminated against, he also screwed over tons of less successful POC and female writers and editors because he wasn't getting as much credit for their work as he wanted.

literally fuck James Patterson
