Collaborative Writing – “write a book together”

Hi new longhorns, welcome to this brand new academic session with lots of things to learn and do. Academic writing is an important part of higher studies and it is crucial to know the process of writing a good piece of literary article. A proper template, coordinated word flow and external citations – these are only a few points to be considered while writing. It is a fact that we spend more time learning and less in writing. To buckle up, we can take part in a collaborative writing session (online via zoom) to write a book of your choice!!

How about writing a book together? Or a scientific article? maybe a useful DIY guide? 🚀🚀🚀

Collaborative writing is not a new concept but has been in practice since a long time. Research papers, team reports, mega software projects, complex engineering solutions, and so on, collaborated writing has been a tried and tested way to use many hands and minds towards a single cause.

If you’re an university student, then there’s a good chance that you’ll have to write a thesis paper at some point of time.

So why not start in a fun way? 💡

Be a better writer together

Here in this Collaborative Writing contest, we are going to write a book together. It will be a compilation of well thought and read contents in the form of a comprehensive paper.

The topic can be anything – fictional, reality, scientific or any topic of individual choice. For example, you can research and write down the history of modern computers or work on an article about the current rising global warming situation; anything which incites your curious mind is encouraged.

We ought to have some ground rules though:

  1. Voting for topics – we’ll run voting via polls and shortlist a few topics.
  2. Groups will be formed and assigned according to their chosen topics.
  3. Writings should be organized in the form of a thesis template -> Like this (don’t worry, we’ll help you with that.)
  4. Citations are encouraged for all external references.
  5. Limitation of page count to 50 pages per book with 5-10 pages per contributing author.
  6. Bi-monthly online sync up for progress monitoring and moderation of contents.
  7. Social media management and internal media publications.
