Collaborations truly are gold when you find people who have the same values, goals, and work ethic. Every day I thank the universe for bringing Becca and me together, and two of the biggest collaboration keys to authorship is the feedback side (critique partners, beta readers, etc.) and the marketing side of things. Collaborations make life easier and foster a sense of community and being “in it together.”

I heartily encourage people to look into your Grand Cayman cruise, too! It’s a great opportunity to learn and make lifelong friendships. I am still in touch with so many folks from the cruise I did years ago. 🙂

“The key is picking the right writing partner.”

100%, this. You can both be great writers, but if you partner with someone who has slightly different goals, communication methods, expectations, etc.—things won’t work. There are a dozen ways the partnership could fall flat. Angela and I were able (without meaning to) to test drive the working relationship with our blog before jumping into a paid business partnership. That’s how we really go to know each other and realize we were compatible. I’d recognize that test-drive to anyone who’s considering working long-term with another author.

Thanks for this helpful post, Christina. I love working toward a goal with other writers. It’s so motivating!

Your cruise sounds wonderful. 🙂
