I too have a collaborator in a Author who has published over twenty books. She has helped me through three drafts of two current WIP and because of her unending encouragement this year I began the querying process. If it weren’t for her I’d have stayed a closeted writer.

I occasionally wish I had a co-writer. I think best when I have someone I can bounce ideas off. I wrote a long letter to my CP last night and ended up writing more after than than I had all month!

I have a relative who has a collaborator in the form of a co-author. (They write romances under a single pseudonym.)

She tells me it’s the only way she really enjoys working, because while she is strong on plots and characters, her partner is better at constructing sentences and polishing. They met at a convention and were telling each other their troubles when they realized that their strengths and weaknesses meshed.

I absolutely believe in the benefits of collaboration and, at this moment, have Alice Rosengard, who has 30 years of experience with publishers, editing my manuscript, The Shark’s Wife, before I send it to agents.
