B) I have a vague idea I want help developing,
C) I want to write a particular format/genre/subject matter but I want to cooperatively come up with a project idea.
Describe the project/idea/type of writing you want a partner to work with you on.
Please complete the following questions as honestly as possible
1. What can you offer to the partnership?
2. Do you both keep deadlines and work at the same speed?
3. How will the work be divided?
4. Is the subject matter suited to co writing?
5.Do you have skills that will compliment each other? ( as opposed to having exactly the same though patterns and ideas)
6. Will all contributions be considered equal?
7.Are you located in or around the same area?
8. Are your friends/family supportive of the project? ( will your kids or partner stop you from doing your share of the work)
Please answer Yes or No to the following questions
What will the partnership offer you that you believe you cant do alone
A feeling of obligation to get the material finished? Y/N
Twice as much ideas and concepts? Y/N
Regular time committment? Y/N
Additional skills and expertise? Y/N
Mutual learning? Y/N
Fun and excitement? Y/N
Companionship? Y/N
If upon completing the questionaire both parties agree to a working relationship, make sure to compose and sign a letter of agreement detailing all the legal and financial aspects of the partnership. Remember it might sound great now and you may be the best of friends but sales and money can change that.
