Welcome Back: We Are in Publish Mode!
from Co-Authoring Chronicles Podcast · host Helen Corvis & Steaphan Kay
After a long hiatus, the hosts return with a pretty good excuse: they've been writing. In this episode, they talk about completing two books together and what they learned from moving deeper into a shared series. The conversation gets into the practical side of co-authoring—keeping worldbuilding and continuity straight across books, deciding how a series should be structured and named, revisiting details you created months ago, and knowing when to stop tweaking and move forward. They also discuss how the workload shifts between two writers, how collaboration can help when one person hits writer's block, and why trust and respect matter when you're building the same fictional world together. Along the way, they talk fantasy series, David Eddings, canon, perfectionism, and some increasingly questionable ideas for future book titles.
