Can You Pattersonize? (Midtown) Date: 2011-06-16, 11:53AM EDT Reply to: job-w8mxm-2443980311 at craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] Do you understand pattersonization?
James Patterson has sold over 200 million novels--more than Stephen King, John Grisham and Dan Brown combined--largely because his brief, open, explicit style mimics popular TV.
It's so easy on the reader.
Help us pattersonize our novels--editing, punching up the prose--cutting to the core of the emotion.
$5 to $10 per page, quality--revisions required--dependent. More than 2000 pages existing work to be edited at present.
