Join the 42nd President of the United States and the World Record-breaking master storyteller as they share insights into their thrilling new collaboration.

From Jed Bartlett to Serena Meyer, fictional US presidents live in our imaginations as vividly as their real life counterparts; but only one has the authenticity of being created by a genuine occupant of the Oval Office.

Drawing on his first-hand knowledge of life in the White House, global geopolitics and the upper echelons of power, Bill Clinton teamed up with one of the world’s best-known and best-selling authors, James Patterson, to tell the most thrilling, frightening, and plausible tale of an American presidency yet devised.

‘Meticulous in its portrayal of Washington politics, gripping in its pacing, and harrowing in its depiction of the perils of cyberwarfare’ (Ron Chernow), The President Is Missing was heralded as both a heart-pounding thrill ride and an authentic look inside the mind of the leader of the free world.

Now Bill Clinton and James Patterson are back with a new story to tell: The President’s Daughter. Joining How To Academy and Waterstones, they’ll take us deep into their art, craft and friendship, exploring the dynamics of their extraordinary collaboration. How do they fuse the lived experience of the presidency with the art of fiction? Find out in this unmissable livestream event.

This Livestream Event Is Held In Partnership With Waterstones.
