Clements Ripley = partnership between Clem & Katherine Ball Ripley[edit]

While I was looking for citation for this article, I came across this:

"Clements and Katharine Ball Ripley Papers, 1909-1996". http://library.sc.edu. Columbia, SC: University of South Carolina. 1998. Retrieved 2014-02-14. As early as 1932 the matter of an official collaborative agreement between Clem and Kattie as writers had been discussed with their New York agent, David B. Hampton. As indicated in a letter from Hampton to Clem, 26 May 1932, such an agreement would mandate the use of both their names on marketed manuscripts, and would entitle Kattie to one-third of the proceeds from all material they wrote together. Hampton advised against any such arrangement, insisting that publishers had a natural prejudice against marketing manuscripts under two names-'The two of you have built up the name of Clements Ripley and it is as much of an asset as a piece of real estate or a bond.' {{cite web}}: External link in |work= (help)

So it seems clear that much of the work published under Clements Ripley was actually from the collaborative work of Clements and Katharine Ball Ripley. I am now struggling with how to incorporate Katharine Ball Ripley as a partner into this article. There isn't exactly an infobox template for this sort of thing.
