Coauthoring

Collaborate to Create: Coauthoring Nonfiction

Explore the transformative potential of nonfiction coauthoring! Collaborating with a fellow author can leverage shared expertise, improve quality through joint oversight, lighten the workload, and expand your audience reach—all while creating new opportunities for income and platform growth.

But co-authoring isn’t without challenges. Navigating creative differences, managing logistics, and maintaining a strong working relationship can be tricky. This workshop equips you with actionable strategies to evaluate coauthoring opportunities, establish rock-solid partnership agreements, and streamline the writing and editing process for a successful collaboration.

This session is packed with practical advice and real-world insights: attendees will walk away with a clear framework to assess whether co-authoring is right for them, tips for managing partnerships effectively, and tools to make the most of collaborative opportunities while avoiding common pitfalls.

​This workshop is your guide to ensuring that coauthoring is not only productive but an enjoyable and creatively fulfilling experience.
