I am currently publishing a comic series with a co-writer, and have worked with other writers as well. We always start with a general outline, so that both of us are in agreement regarding what direction the plot is going to take and how the characters are going to advance it. Typically we each follow our own self-created characters and their story arcs, although our characters also interact so we end up writing each others'. We also make suggestions for ideas involving each others' characters as well. Then, each of us write our designated chapters, after which we submit it to the other author to approve. Sometimes this involves some back and forth until we reach agreement. It's easier in my case as I'm the primary writer so have ultimate say, however if my partner felt passionate about a particular issue I would be inclined to follow her lead. Co-writing doesn't work without compromises!
