What does it actually take to write a book with your best friend, across two continents, for years?
This week we're joined by Dom Shorthouse and Shannon Davis from the podcast An Appropriate Amount of Soup, and things get wonderfully chaotic. Dom and Shannon co-authored a novel by sending chapters back and forth, each trying to outsmart, and occasionally sabotage, the other. Now they're both writing their own trilogies, Shannon has two self-published novels available on Amazon, and Dom is building a Dungeons & Dragons fine dining experience that has yet to receive a single booking.
Warning: this episode contains a detailed analysis of wassail, a child calling a substitute teacher 'Whorehouse,' and a serious discussion about whether an appropriate amount of soup is actually achievable.
You might want to listen if:
• You've ever started a creative project with a friend and wondered who was actually doing the work
• You're a writer trying to figure out how to grow an audience without surrendering your soul to the algorithm
• You've been putting off the scary second half of a creative project (the part where you have to show it to people)
Shannon has written a couple of great books.
