In this conversation, I discuss the challenges and strategies for authors navigating collaborative writing projects, such as anthologies and multi-author series.
I emphasize the importance of maintaining a unique voice while adhering to project parameters and goals.
The discussion includes practical tips for authors to set their own objectives, understand the expectations of collaborative projects, and utilize the 'same and different' method to create compelling stories that resonate with readers.
This is a great episode for how to write in multi author series and how to write for anthologies.
