Collaboration & Sharing
Collaborate with others and share your work.
A book feels like a solo act, right up until it isn’t. Sooner or later someone else needs in: a co-author, an editor, the beta reader you trust with your ending.
This is where you bring them into the work. Co-author in real time. Leave comments back and forth. Share your project with editors and beta readers.
