## Two authors divide duties, not content One very successful technique was the one used by Fletcher Pratt and L. Sprague de Camp in their wonderful fantasy romps such as [Land of Unreason](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Unreason) and [The Incomplete Enchanter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incomplete_Enchanter). Pratt, at the time the much more experienced and accomplished of the two, would rough out a plot. They would bounce it back and forth until it was ready; de Camp would write the first draft; Pratt would rewrite it; then deCamp would do the final edit for submission. What this method accomplished was to avoid carving the work up into separate chunks. Instead, both authors had their fingers in all of it. The quality of the result suggests that this might be a good way to do a collaborative work.
