The session will include the mechanics of writing together. What are the benefits of collaborative writing? What are the drawbacks? How is the work divided? Will you co-author one book with another author? If you write a novella for a collection, how closely will the novellas be connected? Who will choose the theme and compile the proposal? If you take part in a multi-author series, how will you keep track of the details from the other writers’ books? Who will compile the series guide, and how detailed should it be? How will the income be divided and distributed? How will promotion be organized? If the work is contracted by a publisher, what options do you have? Will rights to the work eventually revert to you? This session will address these and many other details to be considered before beginning collaborative writing. As a writer with experience in all of the mentioned situations, Susan Page Davis can help you understand what you’re jumping into before you leap.
