Hi Greer we are a book club in the Highlands of Scotland, we have just read The Wife Between Us and loved it. We have a question or two. Firstly, who wrote the ending? Did you both decide or did you write a chapter each? Secondly did one of your write the Nellie chapters and other the ‘new wife’ ones?
Greer Hendricks
Thank you so much. Unlike any other writing duo that I know of, Sarah and I write every line together. We write daily (Monday-Friday) barring disasters with kids or dogs! Basically we are on google docs and google hangouts from 9-4 discussing each character, each scene and writing. On off hours (earlier or later) we will go into our manuscript separately and add edits in "suggested" mode.

Greer Hendricks:
One person writing a novel is probably not as easy as some would make it seem. How do two people do it and make it into one cohesive narrative? Do you divvy up chapters? Is one of you speaking as Nelly and the other as Vanessa? Do you discuss the outline and agree on direction or is one the writer and one the idea person?

I just finished An Anonymous Girl after I selected it as my book of the month. I sat down this morning, and read it cover to cover. Every plan I had for the dissipated as I just could not put this book down. How do you think up and imagine all the plot twists, turns? Do you already have them in mind, or do the ideas come to you as you write? Thank you!
