Co-Authorship can be sticky sometimes. It takes the right partner and the perfect amount of communication to be successful when working with someone else. You wouldn’t purchase a house without viewing it- so don’t do that when picking a Co-Author. Look at their credentials and writing styles.

Remember this is a partnership- create improved skill sets from each other's Strengths and Marketing.  I also have 5 other bonus tips that you need to keep in mind during this process.

  1. Write it together as one voice- Stay connected with your partner and make sure you are both on the same page about the context and information you want to include.
  2. Each of you take a chapter - Collaborate and speed up the writing process by dividing sections for each of you to complete.
  3. Each of you take a chapter and don’t make it obvious- Make sure that in your writing yourself and your partner are writing to a similar style so that the reader doesn’t point it out.
  4. What does “with” me mean? Use Julie and Julia as a reference.
