Brummet's Conscious Blog

Several months ago, I had the honour of being featured on Michelle Cornish's Blog for a Q&A author interview. By chance, I was inspired to revisit the interview and thought this piece below is of particular value to our blog readers: " The first thing the co-writers, and therefore business partners, should do is create a thoughtful contract. This is a brief document discussing what is expected from each person (what they promise to do), the title of the book, followed by a paragraph outlining the contingency and succession plans.  Here you would discuss what happens if the relationship dissolves, if one person fails to accomplish their side of things, if one or both writers pass on who will now own the rights to this project (once it is published).
