Workshop: Co-Writing – When Two Authors Are Better Than One 06/02/2020 – 06/30/2020

Neil Gaiman and Terry
Pratchett, Stephen King and Peter Straub, Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith—
Although writing is often a solitary exercise, bringing the strengths of two
writers together can be extremely rewarding.

In this workshop, we
will cover the basics of collaborating, from initial conception through
drafting and editing. Learning to use your cowriter as a source of ideas, as
well as learning to settle differences of opinion regarding story direction,
will be key to your successful novel. Finally, while this workshop will
primarily be geared towards structuring and planning the co-writing process,
there will be some tips along the way for pantsing-style writers for those who
need a more spontaneous approach but want to avoid writing your partner into a
corner.
