The 10 laws of collaborative writing

Christine October 10, 2013 Leave a Comment 8051

How do you make sure you are collaborating effectively with your writing colleagues? Here are 10 laws to guide you:

  1. All writing in organizations is collaborative.
  2. Respect thy collaborators as thyself.
  3. Identify the writing mandate and agree on a process.
  4. Assess the requirements for the project (even when there’s no time).
  5. Agree on practices and tools, and track progress.
  6. When in doubt, check your assumptions.
  7. Model thy structure and content.
  8. Collaboration is all about communication and shared goals.
  9. Editors, translators, and designers are collaborators, too.
  10. Celebrate, then evaluate.

We look at the reason for each law in individual blog posts.
