Dr. Patrick Ojo, author of 'Freedom for Pharmacy,' has signed a publishing agreement with Brick Tower Press, as announced on July 14, 2026. The deal was negotiated by Alan Morell of Creative Management Partners (CMP), who will also represent Dr. Ojo's commercial rights across all platforms, including literary works, a sequel, broadcast adaptation into a docuseries, speaking engagements, endorsements, advisory roles, online courses, and licensing.
Dr. Ojo's journey is remarkable: born and raised in Benin City, Nigeria, he attended the University of Ife for a chemistry degree, taught in Nigerian schools, and migrated to the U.S. in 1988. He worked as a caseworker for the New York City Department of Homeless Services while completing pre-pharmacy requirements at New York City Technical College and earning a pharmacy degree from Long Island University, College of Pharmacy. After becoming a U.S. citizen in 1996, he moved to Florida and later earned a Doctor of Pharmacy from Nova Southeastern University in 1999. He has practiced in community, hospital, compounding, correctional, and institutional pharmacy settings.
Publisher John T. Colby Jr. of Brick Tower Press commented: 'We are delighted to welcome Dr. Patrick Ojo to Brick Tower Press, where his work joins a distinguished list of authors including Dr. Jane Goodall, Al Jardine of the Beach Boys, Paul Preuss, Dr. Bob Arnot, and many other bestselling writers. 'Freedom for Pharmacy' fills a real niche: it pulls back the curtain on how the American pharmacy system actually works and gives readers practical guidance for navigating it – timely reading as patients face rising costs and growing confusion about their medications.'
Agent Alan Morell added: 'I am pleased to announce Dr. Patrick and his wonderful book being published by prestigious publisher Brick Tower Press. Dr. Patrick, in my view, is truly an American hero, giving back, having worked with NYCDepartment of Homeless Services while graduating from Long Island University, College of Pharmacy, Brooklyn, New York, for his pharmacy degree AND also becoming a U.S. citizen in 1996. This year is our Nation's 250th USA Anniversary, and I felt signing Dr. Patrick was not only patriotic but significant since his book, 'Freedom for Pharmacy,' is groundbreaking reading and a must-read for a large majority of an audience who are confused with today’s U.S. Pharmacies; big Pharma control of the industry.'
The significance of this announcement lies in the potential impact on readers navigating the complex U.S. pharmacy system. 'Freedom for Pharmacy' aims to demystify the industry, offering practical guidance to patients facing rising medication costs and confusion. As Brick Tower Press notes, the book addresses a real need in the healthcare landscape. For the pharmacy industry and consumers alike, this work could empower patients with knowledge and strategies to manage their prescriptions effectively.
Dr. Ojo expressed his excitement: 'Signing with Alan Morell of CMP to be my Agent and him getting me Brick Tower Press Publishing my works signifies a huge milestone for me personally and professionally.' With CMP representing his commercial rights, including potential adaptation into a docuseries and speaking engagements, the reach of Dr. Ojo's insights could extend beyond the book, influencing broader conversations about pharmacy transparency and patient advocacy.
