Writing as a Team Sport
Description
Two New York Times-bestselling authors use personal experiences to teach how to work with a writing partner and what problems you may encounter.
In a creative project, are two heads better than one?
Writing partnerships can produce a remarkable synergy, building on each other's talents to create work unlike anything the individual authors could do alone. On the other hand, unsuccessful collaboration can be disastrous and has ruined many a friendship.
Kevin J. Anderson has worked on numerous novels and stories with dozens of collaborators, and many of those projects have become bestsellers and award winners. Rebecca Moesta has written books and stories with numerous other writers. In this in-depth book Anderson and Moesta describe various collaboration methods with frank recollections of their own experiences. You'll learn collaborative techniques that will suit any sort of writer, as well as the pitfalls you may encounter.
Includes a sample collaboration agreement to adapt to your own needs.More details
