Collaboration Fiction In Various Fields

By Arline Bradley


This is a form of writing where a number of authors share creativity in writing a story. Collaboration Fiction is becoming increasingly popular. People engage in this form of writing for various reasons. Some of this include; recreation, part of education and as a way of commercial gain.

It can also be viewed as a group of people writing together. To many, this definition sounds subliminally correct because it exposes the idea that all writing is an outcome of two or more people. This is evidenced by that fact that writers use ideas, language or tips they inherited from works done by other writers.

Collaborative writing is greatly being encouraged in classrooms and academic research. In many institutions it is used to enhance learner centered programs. In such cases the role of lecturer is no longer teaching but instructing the learners. The tutor becomes more of a mentor than a teacher. His main work in such scenarios is to provide opportunities for students to carry out research and writing together. This new method has proved to be very effective and raised performance in schools.

There are legal issues that need to be observed whenever two or more people join efforts to write. An agreement should exists defining issues like the terms of separation, who would retain the right of the property in case all the group decides to part ways and also provide clear guidelines for termination of the conglomerate. It is vital for every writer to be aware that working with others is not easy and they can encounter several challenges. Some of these challenges include; pressure from the co-workers, delays in producing the book, one party may have other stuff he is committed and one of the members can lose interest or get bored in the process of coming up with the writing.

Collaborative writing has also been used to influence participation of community in writing. Many writers who engage the community are rewarded as the output is always of high quality and the content is built on real life of the people. An example is Dave Eggers who was awarded for 826 projects in 2008. His projects were a joint effort of community, groups and school children.

Recreational collaborative writing has taken root in the recent periods and has been enhanced by the advent of internet. This type of writing is open and there are no particular guidelines on how it should be passed to people. An example is writing games that engages cooperation from different people.

One should be careful when choosing co-writers. This is because they determine the quality of work done and the experience one is going to have in the whole process. When one is choosing a partner he should consider the level of commitment and interest. Co-writers are there to share ideas of writing.

It is vital to ensure that you work well with your co-writer. People have different perceptions of what is means to work well with a partner. Here are some of the tips that one can employ in order to work efficiently with other writers. One should ensure they respect the strengths of you partner and understand his weakness. Collaboration can be in writing as well as research.
