James Patterson says he’ll “disrupt” reading by writing shorter books
A new venture from publishing juggernaut James Patterson is being sold as the “Uber of books.”
“I’m a disruptor,” the massively prolific, bestselling author announced in a press conference this morning (June 6) as he introduced a new line of books. They’re called Bookshots, and the great promise of each is to be a plot-driven book under 150 pages that costs than $5.
These aren’t novellas, Patterson clarified, nor are they just short, regularly paced novels. Rather, he said, reading a Bookshot is like “reading a hit movie”—fast-paced, economical, with no meandering. Hisfirst two Bookshot titles, published by Little, Brown, will be available tomorrow, and will include Cross Kill, a new installment in his popular Alex Cross series. So far Patterson plans for Bookshots to publish thriller, romance, and non-fiction.
Patterson, one of the world’s highest paid authors, won’t write all the titles himself, but he does claim to have outlines for over 80 new stories.
