&lt;div class="asl-wikipage-summary"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Writing in solitude is difficult, but writing with a partner can present its own challenges. Working with a co-author can be a fantastic experience, as well. While there are ways to make a collaboration work, it&amp;rsquo;s easiest if you can find the right partner before any&lt;span style="text-decoration:line-through;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;writing begins. There&amp;rsquo;s not a one-size-fits-all formula for a co-author, because every relationship is different. There are, however, some universal traits necessary for a successful partnership. Erik Deckers, author and president of Pro Blog Service, has experience in working with a collaborator on nonfiction books. He explains that the most important element of working with a partner is trust. This must be pervasive throughout all parts of the process. Authors need to trust their partners to meet deadlines and believe similar things about the book&amp;rsquo;s topic. Erik Deckers explains other ways that trust affects a co-author partnership in the clip below!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
