Patterson Funds Holiday Bonuses
James Patterson gave away $350,000 to more than 300 independent bookstore employees as holiday bonuses in December 2017, in amounts ranging from $750 to $1,250. While he takes nominations and otherwise runs the program with the assistance of the American Booksellers Association, Patterson funds the bonuses personally.
For the list of recipients, see the American Booksellers Association site.
