V.E. Schwab, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, is a titan of high-concept fantasy. Cat Clarke is an award-winning veteran of suspense. On paper, their collaboration on the new mystery The Ending Writes Itselfseems like a calculated power move. In reality, it began as a desperate vent session over day-old pastries in a Scottish kitchen.
The partnership required both women to break long-standing professional vows. 'I had left publishing in 2018, swearing never to write another book again,' Clarke told NPR. Schwab added, 'I had sworn that I would never, ever co-write a novel' and that she would never write anything without magic in it.
What makes Evelyn Clarke unique is the refusal to 'divide and conquer' the workload. Most co-authors split chapters by point of view, but Schwab and Clarke describe their process as building and decorating a house together. 'We made a blueprint, and then we went in room by room, and we put down the structure, the floor, the walls,' Schwab explained. 'One of us would decorate, and then the other one would come in and be like, I don't like those curtains and then adjust it, and we would adjust over the top of each other until we were both happy with the scene.'
As for the book’s central mystery, Schwab, a writer who notoriously starts every project by writing the ending first, promises a 'magic act' structure. 'A good magician will let you see three tricks, and he'll let you see how the first two work so that you're convinced it isn't real,' Schwab said. 'And then you'll never figure out how the third one works.'
