Collaborwriter

Write a book together, a little at a time.

Collaborwriter is a calm, free place to finish a book with other people. Share an idea and let others help you write it. Or pick up one section of someone else's book and write just that.

No deadlines. No fees. You can stop at any time.

A whole book is a lot. One section isn't.

Plenty of good books never get finished, because writing all of it alone takes more time, focus or energy than one person has. Collaborwriter splits a book into small pieces, so that nobody has to carry it by themselves.

How it works

  1. Share the idea

    An author describes their book and splits it into sections: chapters, scenes, letters or short stories. Each one gets a short brief.

  2. Write one piece

    Pick up an open section, or accept an invitation from someone you know. Write in short bursts. Your words save as you go.

  3. Finish it together

    The author reads each section and approves it into the book. Everyone who wrote is credited by name.

More about how it works

What you can count on

No deadlines, anywhere

Nothing on Collaborwriter has a due date. Nobody is chased. Pick your writing up when you are ready.

Passing it on is fine

If a section stops working for you, hand it back. What you wrote stays with it for the next writer, and you are still credited.

The book stays the author's

The person whose idea it is decides what goes in. A dated record shows who wrote and changed what.

Private until you choose

A book can be only yours, shared with people you invite, or open to everyone. You decide, and you can change it.

Who it's for

Writers with limited energy

If fatigue, illness or disability means you write in short bursts, a section at a time is a pace that works.

People with a book they can't finish alone

You have the idea, the world or the first chapters. Others can help carry it to the end.

People who would love to write a piece

You don't need a book of your own. Short sections are a kind place to start.

Start with one small piece.
