Writing a Series in a Team 

Many authors are teaming up to write a series. This is a great way to grow their number of fans by sharing readers, and any marketing efforts will pay off for everyone. If a reader reads one book in the series and likes it, he or she is likely to buy others. If there are four of five books in the series, the benefits can mushroom because of the broadening readership. 

Each author can write and publish their own book while coordinating with the others. This takes care of the question of how to split the royalties. I suggest that one author act as the coordinator to get the project off the ground and keep it moving. Many times, the books are just based on a theme, but they can have other connections, such as setting, friendships, family, etc. The authors can also act as beta readers or editors for each other. However, unless there's a professional editor involved in the group, I still suggest each writer still use a professional editor.

I am thinking about teaming with other authors to write a series of novellas or novels. These would be inspirational, historical romances that include sweet food(s) somewhere in them. The series might be called "Sweet Somethings,"  which could have a double meaning. I already have the rough draft of my novella - The Sweetest Christmas. The stories need to be new and never before published. If any Christian author would be interested in participating in this, let me know soon.
