Collaborations by Craig Martelle is a non-fiction title that provides information on how to collaborate on writing projects with other Authors.
The Cover: As far as I’m aware, there is only one version for this book. It is bright, stands out, and is branded so as to align with other non-fiction titles in the Successful Indie Author series. I find it presents as a business focused title, which ultimately it is. Once again, I’m not a real fan of the colour choices, but the cover does grab your attention, the font is clear, and the cover successfully conveys that this is a non-fiction title.
The Good Stuff: There is a lot of great information in this title. The content was very informative for me and opened my eyes to what is involved in a collaboration. Not just the work, but how to protect yourself and the co-authors rights, etc… I like Craig Martelle’s down to earth, no-bullshit style. He claims to be a blue collar author, and I am convinced this is the truth. I believe it is well worth investing in this book if you are looking at collaborations. You may save yourself and others a lot of trouble.
The Bad Stuff: What can I say? It’s a great book. There is some repetition, but I’ve found that in this series of books and I feel it is just to hammer the point home. It didn’t bother me at all, but it may irk others. At the end of the day, there is a lot of value in this book for anyway looking to form a collaboration.
Overall, this was another easy and enjoyable read. It was very informative, gets you thinking about things you may not have considered, and provides some example contracts for different types of collaborations. After some discussion with my imaginary friends, we’ve decided to give this one 4 out of 5 golden bookmarks.
