Here’s how Taylor Sheridan met his ex-con co-author of ‘How to Not Die in Prison’
Sheridan and his co-author built the book from prison survival advice and personal experience, with the project framed as a guide to navigating incarceration.
- Filmmaker Taylor Sheridan met his collaborator, Nelson, at a Los Angeles gym and decided to produce a book about prison life after learning of Nelson's incarceration history.
- Following his release from prison after 20 years, Nelson struggled to secure employment, prompting Sheridan, creator of "Yellowstone," to recognize his unique experience and offer assistance.
- The pair became friends, and Sheridan flew Nelson to Texas to begin their partnership, purchasing several travel guides for research and successfully drafting three chapters together.
- A production assistant role Sheridan attempted to secure for Nelson proved unsuitable; the pay and hours conflicted with Nelson's responsibilities as a single father with a 5-year-old child.
- The book, described as a travel guide to prison, landed a deal with Simon & Schuster, positioning the collaboration as Nelson's new writing career following his incarceration.
