So, I have an oddly specific question regarding co-authorship. My gf and I have created a fictional (duh) universe between our characters that overlaps. As long as we retain all derivative rights, it should be okay if we write separate novels to the same fictional world, and eventually write a book together, right?
Would we need to find an agent that would represent both of us? Is this even done? I have no idea, and am just trying to get some advice before we both start committing to writing MSS in different areas of the world map, with the intent to see our characters and places novel-jump and author-jump.
I'm also curious, in general, how co-authorship is done, in terms of publishing houses and agents. It seems like it would be easier if it was all handled by one agent/house, but that also seems highly unlikely unless an agent likes both of our styles and speed (gf writes very fast; I write very slow.)
