For example: "Let's pretend this is the quote" (2 authors wrote it, how should it be put in these paranthesis)

Should both of the names go in there? or just one?
Can you give me an example? thanks!

"Let's pretend this is the quote"

I dont know! How could two authors make the same quote simultaneously without knowing about the other? Who made it first? Maybe one is just quoting the other. Do you need to put both, or can you just choose one, and claim you diddnt know the other?

substitute 'and' for 'or' if the two authors were working together on the same book, or find out who actually wrote that portion of the book.
