I am sorry for the lack of posts last week, it was a vibrant, energetic and exhausting. However, this week I aim to make it up and as always begin it with Tuesday Discussion.
Last weeks post looked at the key points to writing a Synopsis for your manuscript.
This week is about author collaboration.
A few points come to mind when discussing author collaborations.
- Communication– For myself, I would like the author to be in physical form as the creative and writing process could flow a bit more natural.
- Genre – Obviously, your partner needs to have the same taste in genre e.g. fantasy
- Narrative voice – I read Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman’s Death Gate cycle and the narrative voice at times seemed distinct of whom was in control of what scene. If I did a collaboration I would want a smooth narrative voice with the author throughout the whole novel.
As a reader: Do you like reading novels that have two authors?
As a writer/ author: Have you done a collaboration before? If so, how was the process?
Would you consider doing a collaboration with another author?
Post your comments and answers below. If you think someone has an interesting point of view and answer, please invite them or share this post to them.
