About this title

Synopsis

Artistic collaboration is the most dangerous game around, except maybe for love. The McGoldricks have mastered both. I thought from the first time that I met them that they had something special going on. Now I understand the basis of their magical marriage. It’s called collaboration.

– Evan Maxwell, NY Times bestselling novelist, collaborator, and writing columnist

Part how-to book, part relationship book, Marriage of Minds offers strategies and techniques for creating successful collaborations and successful fiction. Drawing on their own personal and professional relationship, and on the relationships of other well-known collaborative teams, the McGoldricks walk you through the essentials of successful collaboration:

– finding the “write” partner– developing skills in communication and the art of compromise– establishing guidelines– providing constructive feedback– working through “for better or worse”

All you and your partner need are the ideas and the talent. Marriage of Minds will supply you with the rest.
