Studios and networks seek out and value writing teams. They firmly believe in the old addage, "two heads are better than one." Partnering with the right person can make writing a dream. You share the workload, one person's strength compensates for his partner's weakness and there's always someone to bounce ideas off.
More often than not, writing partnerships end up in disaster. They're like marriages, ending in divorce and bitterness. Partners need to share the same vision of the script, have a similar writing style and decide on a concrete understanding of who's going to do what and how are differences of opinion going to be resolved. By deciding on those issues in advance, you'll avoid turmoil and misunderstandings later. |
