Marriage of Minds: Collaborative Writing

"A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT IS USEFUL TO ANY ASPIRING WRITER, A SORT OF QUIZ OF REQUIRED TALENTS AND A REALISTIC, HARD LOOK AT THE DIFFICULTIES INVOLVED IN GETTING PUBLISHED AND ACHIEVING SUCCESS."

Part how-to book, part relationship book, Marriage of Minds offers strategies and techniques for creating successful collaborations and successful fiction. Drawing on their own personal and professional relationship, and on the relationships of other well-known collaborative teams, the McGoldricks walk you through the essentials of successful collaboration:

– finding the "write" partner
– developing skills in communication and the art of compromise
– establishing guidelines
– providing constructive feedback
– working through "for better or worse"

ALL YOU AND YOUR PARTNER NEED ARE THE IDEAS AND THE TALENT. MARRIAGE OF MINDS WILL SUPPLY YOU WITH THE REST.
