James Patterson
With an estimated 260 million copies of his book sold worldwide and 19 consecutive #1 New York Times bestselling novels, James Patterson is the undisputed king of the page-turner, and arguably the king of all publishing.. He is the first author to have #1 new titles simultaneously on The New York Times adult and children's bestsellers lists and is the only author to have five new hardcover novels debut at #1 on the list in one year — a record-breaking feat he’s accomplished every year since 2005. His critically acclaimed Maximum Ride series debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list at #1 and remained there for twelve straight weeks, proving that kids of all ages love page turners, too. In January, 2010, The New York Times Magazine featured James Patterson on its cover and hailed him as having “transformed book publishing.” From his James Patterson Pageturner Awards to his website ReadKiddoRead.com to his regular donations of thousands of books to troops overseas, Patterson is a lifelong champion of books and reading.
