You could try www.scribophile.com/. There are lots of writers on there and you may find someone who wants to work with you.

However, I'm concerned about what you mean by 'co-authoring'. Co-authors both write the book.

They could work in several ways - one doing the first draft, the other the editing, and back and forth.

Or they could each write different sections.

Possibly one could do a lot of the plotting groundwork, planning and character development and the other could write the actual prose.

However, contributing 'ideas' only would not (in my opinion) be considered co-authoring.

As someone has commented above, while ideas can be turned into something valuable, they are not worth much on their own. The value comes in the execution.

Not trying to put you off, just thought it was worth bearing in mind.

And if your ideas really are that good, perhaps you should have a go at writing them yourself - you might enjoy it : )
