1. Sign in to the Account 1 account on Leanpub

2. Go to the Authors page for the book here:

https://leanpub.com/YOUR_BOOK/authors

...making sure to replace YOUR_BOOK with your book's unique web address.

3. Invite Account 2 to be a co-author on the book

4. Sign out of the account for Account 1

5. Sign in to the account for Account 2

6. Accept the co-author invitation you should see here:

7. Go back to the authors page for the book here:

https://leanpub.com/YOUR_BOOK/authors

...making sure to replace YOUR_BOOK with your book's unique web address.

8. Set Account 2 to be the "Primary Author"

OK, that's it!
