How to Get Off to a Good Start Co-Writing a Children’s Book

​I thought I knew about co-authoring a children’s book when I started writing Just Between Sam and Me with Rosie Russell 17 months ago.

Hah! 

I learned a ton since we began collaborating on our tale for tweens. Co-authoring can be an exciting adventure. It can also be a nightmare if you don’t find the perfect writing partner as I was lucky to do with Rosie.

​
Join Rosie and me as we kick off a four-part series about cowriting in conversation with my fellow Tar Heel author, Carol Baldwin. This week, Carol talks with us in a video segment  about how we entered into our partnership ... a task more challenging because Rosie and I live 1,500 miles apart and met in person only once. 

We also share tips o Carol's blog after the video to ensure your writing collaboration succeeds before you write a sentence.

for our convo about starting a co-authoring project.  

P. S. Come back 17 September to explore more in part 2 of this conversation.

​Rosie and I discuss how we manage nitty-gritty details of our collaboration 
– from collecting royalty taxes from authors living in different states
to file-sharing and writing roles
– and navigating bumps on the co-authoring road.  

Yep.
Another giveaway for one lucky winner, too.

See you in September!
