EP432: Zack & Michael Urlocker — “There Can Only Be One Boss.”

Twin brothers Zack and Michael Urlocker write together as M.Z. Urlocker, and their debut novel The Man from Mittelwerk is a 50s noir thriller with a dash of science fiction. They take us through their collaborative process, how they defined their roles in the project, and whether or not they’ll work together again.

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss collaboration (including Back to Reality), capturing tone, having too many ideas, over-outlining, audiobook auditioning, how to find your twin and much more!

WE DISCUSS…

Tips for collaboration.
Accepting gifts from strangers.
And why brute force can solve any writing problem…
