: Re: Are separate acknowledgements sections for co-authors odd? I'm writing a book with a co-author, and we disagree on who to thank. So, we're thinking of each writing our own short acknowledgements

I'm re-reading Conrad's Heart of Darkness at the moment, and the acknowledgements page has four paragraphs covering multiple authors. It might provide a useful model for you to follow.
The first starts "Owen Knowles wishes to record..." and has a second sentence "He is also indebted to...". Knowles edited the primary text and provided an Introduction and Notes.
The second starts "Robert Hampson wishes to thank...". Hampson edited the additional The Congo Diary and provided notes to that text.
The third and fourth are short collective acknowledgements:

Our thanks are due to Donald J. Shewan for the preparation of the map.
Warmest thanks are due to Louise Sladen for her help in preparing the
manuscript.
