Collaboration Fiction Helps Authors Work More And Better

By Minnie Whitley


This is a form of writing where a number of people work together to produce a story, book or document. The main reason for collaboration fiction is to come up with a better material than an individual would produce. This is because the authors are able to share ideas. In this kind of environment every author has an equal right to edit the material, remove parts and even make additions. All the colleagues work towards creating an outstanding material.

In this kind of working environment, change of a part by one contributor would trigger the other parties to propose more changes. In such a situation it becomes easier to work together if everybody in the group has a common in mind and difficult in cases where the goal is absent. All contributors should keep in mind that the core reason for coming together is to create better work due to several efforts geared towards more efficient and effective work processes.

Collaborative writing patterns are different depending with the organization of the contributors. There are a number of degrees of authoring in collaboration. One of them is a pattern where a single writer conducts discussion and review with his colleagues and then produces document. The other main degree is where all the partners jointly work towards authoring of a document or story.

More recently collective writing has been applied in a wide variety of field some of them include; academic co-authoring, adult literacy programs and among doctors in group research writing. The method has been very efficient and been taken positively by many people. In classroom the method has been used to encourage learner centered programs which has improved the performance of many students.

The benefits of collaboration writing can be exposed in five main ways. Some of these are discussed below. Most importantly it strengthens fiction skills. This is achieved through reading and discussing memoir, welcoming critiques on work done and ensuring you reach a point of agreement as a group before submitting works. This strengthens writing skills of an author.

It helps an author build a platform to receive help and help other people. It is likely than when you help someone there is a high probability that when you need their help they will not turn their back on you. There are two main ways through which an author can help the other party, this can be directly or indirect. An example of an indirect manner is to help share fan pages in social sites or even like a post. Most likely your colleagues and other people notice this generosity and next time they will promote you.

Collaborative fiction triggers one to work more. When one is working with others it is likely they will put more efforts and commit more time in working so that they meet the assigned time frame. It is important that when expected to submit tasks or working with editors you be time conscious. This kind of writing stimulates every colleague to work more, better and often.

It is important to face the ugly truth that all writers are struggling with jealousy. Collaborating with other authors is a good way to shun the green monitor and it at bay. If one is working with others, whether editing or reading the work of another author it will be difficult for them to get jealous.
