It is amusing to find myself so passionately and intricately enmeshed in collaborative writing because I’d always hated group projects. I discovered, very early in this incarnation of my writing life, how exciting and liberating sharing a story with other authors could be, but how few authors and publishers took the risk.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND

Welcome to the first in a new series of posts, titled Someone Who Knows. This series is a skill-share, where we hear from people who are experts, or who have had a unique experience in the writing world. We hope these posts help inspire, direct and spark new interests.

If you’re someone who knows and you’re keen to share, we’d love you to get in touch with our Online Editor Sam at editor@beta.thewritersbloc.net/wpblog
