Jason Starr | How Do You Co-Write a Book?

This is the question I've gotten most often over the past few years, since Ken
Bruen and I published our first book together (BUST in 2006). Writing,
obviously, is normally a solitary process and it's hard enough to organize your
own thoughts coherently, so people wonder how we can possibly do it when Ken
lives in Ireland and I live in the U.S. and we write entirely over the
Internet?

Like with any type of writing, I don't think there's any formula for how to
write a book with someone else. The most important thing is that the writers
need to have chemistry and share the same vision. We knew we had that part down-
-we both knew the books would have a nourish, darkly humorous sensibility. We
were more concerned about the writing itself.
