collaborative writing

Shared authorship process

Collaborative writing is the process of two or more people creating a text together.

The collaboration may involve shared drafting, where authors write simultaneously or in turns, or division of labor, where each handles different sections.

The report was the product of collaborative writing among three departments.

The term covers everything from academic co-authorship to writers' rooms for television.
