Coauthoring

Collaborate to Create: Coauthoring Nonfiction

Explore the transformative potential of non-fiction co-authoring! 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 co-authoring opportunities, establish rock-solid partnership agreements, and streamline the writing and editing process for a successful collaboration.

Led by Matty Dalrymple—co-author of Taking the Short Tack: Creating Income and Connecting with Readers Using Short Fiction with Mark Leslie Lefebvre and From Page to Platform: How to Succeed as an Author Speaker with Michael La Ronn—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 co-authoring is not only productive but an enjoyable and creatively fulfilling experience.
