I find it much more dismissive to bury the author -- the one who did the actual writing and not the outline (providing an outline sounds more like an editor than a writer) -- but ymmvKeith Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18446608207417847031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856238413477813183.post-38468863159486348412022-11-23T08:00:35.042-06:002022-11-23T08:00:35.042-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Keith Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18446608207417847031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856238413477813183.post-80240779319340997402022-11-23T07:25:06.054-06:002022-11-23T07:25:06.054-06:00"I also do not like it when certain authors—i..."I also do not like it when certain authors—in this case James Patterson—turn their names into a book factory in which other writers actually write the books but Patterson gets his name in 4-inch letters plastered across the cover of the books while the actual author’s name appears as an after-thought." <br />Patterson has his name on the book because he wrote a 50-60 page novel outline, then worked with writer Brian Sitts, who wrote chapters, which were then sent to Patterson, who then gave his feedback to Sitts, etc. I admit, it is not a typical way of writing books, but your quote dismisses it without any knowledge of the writing process.
