Reviews

“This book is a fairly quick read, but it covers the full spectrum of issues authors might expect to encounter – sort of a nuts-and-bolts of co-writing. I really appreciated this candid, behind-the-scenes look at their co-writing venture. For me, just the overview of the different approaches to co-writing (in the Practicalities and Process chapter) plus the example agreement (included as an appendix) are worth the price of the book. I wasn’t expecting to see information on creating box sets, but since this is also something I’m interested in, it felt like a bonus!” – Valerie

“Good tips, very easy to read and short enough to read in one sitting.” – Clare
