Though it will be a little bit before I am ready to start querying, I've been wondering for a little while how to approach this situation.
I've been working on a YA dystopian novel (first of a two/three parter). The story stems from a one-on-one role-play campaign that my fiance and I ran during the summer, that I felt had potential as its own story.
My fiance was the world builder. He created the general plotline, most of the world, and the secondary characters. I played the actions of the main character, and the campaign revolved around that.
However, I have done all the actual writing of the story, as well as revisions and researching on editing information (though my fiance has a knack for pointing out good advice that I've missed, particularly in relation to plot holes).
When I go to begin querying, should I let the agent know from the begining that there is two of us involved? Or would it wait until there's been a nibble? Would my fiance be considered a co-author, or as writing with me?
I'm just curious how to approach this.
