Hello there. We are co-authors sharing an account. After a half dozen revisions we have finally finished the first book of a fantasy series and are getting ready to shop it around. Doing the query letter and all that junk feels harder than writing the actual story sometimes.

Can't speak for my other half but I feel pretty dumb for not checking out a resource like this earlier (like 10 years earlier). We are excited to be part of this community and look forward to lots of good conversation.

Welcome 1 and welcome 2,

I lurked here for years myself before I introduced myself, but has always found the resources and people here fantastic and helpful.

Such wonderful news that you finished a book - and the first even - that is a great accomplishment.

OK, I'm so sorry, but now I picture you with blue hair and little red suits.

Welcome to both of you! This is an amazing resource and there is so much to explore. You'll probably enjoy the sci-fi/fantasy subforum. For query letter help, pop on over to Query Letter Hell (password = vista) You'll need 50 substantive posts before you can post your own query, but you'll be able to see what works and what doesn't, and try your hand at critting.

Looking forward to seeing you around the boards!

Welcome to both of you. I've been here since July and have found this site extremely helpful. Best of luck with shopping your book. Do your homework first. I am getting ready to send my book out as well. I'm in Beta read stage right now.

welcome and welcome!
I've always been curious about co-authored works, and was curious how did you resolve disputes when you wanted to go in two different directions, and how did you divide up responsibilities?
best of luck with your querying and I hope you enjoy your stay
