Should you write long or short books and what do readers want? I’ve been writing short copy, texts, books, blogs, articles, etc. for some time now. I figured with so much noise that people wanted information fast and they wanted it now. They wanted to get in and out quickly and be done with it. Recently, I read an excellent article about James Patterson and the process behind his writing. I’ve curated the essence of the article to save you time and shed some light on this intriguing question; Long or short copy, which is better?
I want to thank the writer for the time, dedication, and sacrifice it took to write this article.

James Patterson mostly doesn’t write his books. And his new readers mostly don’t read — yet.
By Karen Heller June 6, 2016
BRIARCLIFF MANOR, N.Y. — In book publishing, there is James Patterson — and basically everyone else.
His author bio: “James Patterson has written more bestsellers and created more enduring fictional characters than any other novelist today.” Beloved by critics and peers? Not so much. But his popularity among readers remains incontrovertible. He is an industry unto himself.
And now the author of popular thrillers — and children’s books and young adult novels and romances and mysteries — has launched BookShots , a series of short, cheap, plot-propelled novels directed at an audience more prone to reading smartphones than print. (Naturally, there is an app for it.)
“In this day and age, when so many people have decided to spend so much of their lives not reading books, I think to create a new habit for them is a smart thing,” says Patterson, 69.
The trick? “I’ve taken the fat out of commercial novels,” he says. “In an awful lot of novels, there’s more in them than there should be.” Not in these books. The sentences are simple and declarative.
And frequently double as paragraphs.
Chapters are hiccups. Questions? Rampant. Answers? Plenty and fast. Italics emote. Verbs outnumber adjectives, which Patterson appears to view as the literary equivalent of parsley. (Want to write like this? You can! Through the online James Patterson MasterClass!)
“Every single chapter is conceived to move the plot and the characterization forward,” he says, “and to turn on the movie projectors in our heads.”
He labels BookShots “a revolution” and “a huge thing.”
The motto: “Stories at the speed of life.”
“People want things faster. They want to binge,” says the former adman and onetime creative chief at J. Walter Thompson. “These books are like reading movies.”

One other thing before you go.
Limited Time Offer: I'm offering my Masterclass 30-day FREE Trial to introduce the RTL follow strategy. This strategy is specifically designed for serious-minded individuals who want to build a successful Twitter platform of 100,000 Twitter Followers. In just a few targeted follow sessions every day, you will become an expert and gain followers like never before.
The strategy revolves around strategically following accounts of retweeters, but rest assured, these are not your ordinary retweeters. Through rigorous testing and proprietary techniques, we have meticulously selected them from high-performing categories with the highest follow-back percentages.
Here's how it works: During the 30-day Free Trial, I will send primetime tweets for you to vet and follow the people who have retweeted them. Yes, you heard it right - vet and follow those who have retweeted the tweets. To begin, click on 'retweets,' which will display a list of everyone who has retweeted the tweet within the last 24 hours. These retweeters are the accounts you should follow if they meet my rigorous criteria.
Moreover, the tweets are focused on highly selective categories in the US and UK, as these categories have consistently shown the highest success rates for follow-backs, ranging from 50% to 85% of the time. By targeting these categories, you can maximize your chances of gaining new followers. Additionally, leveraging different time zones will allow you to optimize engagement, as retweeters are more likely to follow back, particularly when they have been recently active online.
The key to the success of this strategy is to access the tweets while they are still fresh, and the retweeters are actively using Twitter. By being prompt in vetting and following them, you can position yourself at the top of their follow-backs and greatly increase your chances of gaining new followers.
Don't miss out on this revolutionary approach! Sign up for the Masterclass 30-day FREE Trial and take the first step towards Twitter success! Send me an email stating, "Sign me up for the free Masterclass 30-day Free Trial" to bob@mistersalesman.com or Click here https://www.mlemont.com/contact
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL YOU’LL GET!
You must also vet each account before following them to avoid bots and increase your follow-back percentage. Using 'My Secret' vetting criteria is crucial to making the RTL strategy work. The criteria are simple: each account must meet three protocols which I will give during the training session.
