So when a fiction novel (not short stories) has two authors how does that work?
Does one mostly write the words and they collaborate on storyline and character development? Do they split up chapters?

I’ve always been curious about this since it’s often an author’s writing style that people enjoy as much - if not more - than the story itself.

New #OpenAccess publication in the spotlight:

Intramolecular feedback regulation of the LRRK2 Roc G domain by a LRRK2 kinase-dependent mechanism

https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.91083.4

We talked to one of the #authors, Arjan Kortholt from our faculty of #Science and #Engineering, about the article, preprints, open #PeerReview, open access, and #OpenScience in general.

#WritersCoffeeClub 27 March: What's the strangest situation or place where you've written.

At a height of about four metres on a tree. At night. In the rain. If dictating an entire chapter into a recorder counts as writing. I then transcribed it at home.

A person walked past with a dog and greeted me. I returned the greeting, whereupon the man reassured his nervous dog: ‘It's all right, it's just a talking tree.’

Authors, what have you put in your books just to see what readers would say? I have used this location in two of my books.

Publishing looks glossy from the outside. Inside? It’s built on unpaid labour.

My first book is out this year.
Here’s what I actually got paid, what my contract says, & why most authors can’t afford to do this twice.

I know a lot of authors have newsletters. Some of you probably use Mailchimp for the purpose.

Be aware that Mailchimp apparently does not respect peoples' decision to unsubscribe by deleting their PII; but rather holds on to it. (As a recipient, this is *not* what I expect.)

I would not be at all surprised if other providers also do this; but in this case, it was Mailchimp being caught holding the smoking gun.

"I squeeze my phone in fury"

"Mark Zuckerberg's net worth is an estimated $235 *billion*. This is all I can think about while I ponder the three years it took me to write my book."

So many authors are devastated right now.

Go buy an indie writer's book. Buy an author a coffee. Share their book with someone who might like it. Write a review.

Stephanie Stimac's book is Design for Developers, a topic near to my heart.
