    How Co-Authors Write the Same Characters (Consistently)
    2026/08/29

    Helen Corvis and Steaphan Kay discuss how their co-authoring process evolved across two book volumes, shifting from a highly structured first-book approach with frequent check-ins and outlining to a looser second-book workflow aimed at increasing writing speed, including initially assigning different POV characters to each author. They compare their writing styles (Steaphan's more poetic dialogue and Helen's more precise, economical approach) and describe how developmental editing revealed persona drift due to differing mental models of character behavior. They review tools for maintaining consistency—character bios that must be updated, character voice guides, visual references for characters, and timelines of emotional states—citing examples from multi-author projects like Star Trek: The Fall and co-author teams with varying degrees of structure. They close by considering a hybrid approach for a third book with fewer meetings than book one but better use of existing character-tracking tools.

  • Welcome Back: We Are in Publish Mode!

    Welcome Back: We Are in Publish Mode!
    2026/08/15

    After a long hiatus, the hosts return with a pretty good excuse: they've been writing. In this episode, they talk about completing two books together and what they learned from moving deeper into a shared series.

    The conversation gets into the practical side of co-authoring—keeping worldbuilding and continuity straight across books, deciding how a series should be structured and named, revisiting details you created months ago, and knowing when to stop tweaking and move forward. They also discuss how the workload shifts between two writers, how collaboration can help when one person hits writer's block, and why trust and respect matter when you're building the same fictional world together.

    Along the way, they talk fantasy series, David Eddings, canon, perfectionism, and some increasingly questionable ideas for future book titles.
