BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Dr. Rachel Ballon, licensed psychotherapist and counselor for writing partners, will talk with radio personality and host Jennifer S. Wilkov about why writers tend to fall so easily into writing partnerships and what to do when they go wrong.

Dr. Ballon will also discuss tips for choosing a good writing partner right from the start and the steps to take if your partnership shows rocky signs and needs to end.

Co-authors Charlotte Waisman, Ph.D., and Jill Tietjen will discuss with radio personality and host Jennifer S. Wilkov their historical book entitled Her Story: A Timeline of the Women Who Changed America.

Dr. Waisman and Ms. Tietjen will talk about how they met as writing partners, how they wrote their book and how they selected the women to include in their groundbreaking project. They will also reveal how they got it published and how they are using their book as their hook to raise awareness of the impact women have had throughout the evolution of the United States.

Host Jennifer S. Wilkov will discuss writing partnerships – the good, the bad and the ugly – during her Education Corner segment during the show.
