I think we always look forward to simply connecting with other writers, as we both write full-time. Īnything you’re particularly looking forward to at the 2013 Riding The Waves conference in Fremantle? You can read more about Allison Rushby at and Allison Tait at.

What is your latest/current/upcoming book release and where can members find out more about you?Īlice’s Wonderland is available now and an excerpt can be read at. And if it’s about writing, well, even better! It’s a requirement of joining RWA that you love a good chat. I know everyone says it, but, seriously, don’t be shy. We will most definitely be using our recently published novel, Alice’s Wonderland, as an example of how we co-author. We’ll talk about both the good and the bad bits of co-authoring – from the practicalities (how to choose your writing BFF) to the esoteric (how to resolve creative differences).ĭo you use examples (from your own books, other books, movies etc)? What will participants take away from this session? (OR what is the key outcome or take-home message?)Īttendees should leave with a good idea of whether co-authoring may suit them and their writing. We’re also frequently asked by other writers what it’s like to write alongside someone else. We think co-authoring is frequently misunderstood (we’ve actually had industry professionals warn us that it would be a rocky road ahead if we decided to co-author!).
