Submit co-authored stories in any genre.

Also looking for non-fiction commentary and experiences with co-created projects.

Co-authoring is rising in popularity, both as a way to satiate the ravenous demand of readers more quickly, and to leverage team imaginative advantages. We’re curious about the pros and cons of this strategy.

Naturally, we also host a Devil’s Advocate column to whoever provides the best cautionary advice regarding cooperative labor.
