RE: Solo and Collaborative Writing Gigs @ Steemit
This is a pretty cool idea. I do have a question though. Who would check/edit the writing that is done? Would this be the director's job? It could be difficult to do only because everyone has a different writing style. With different writers the flow of the piece could be disrupted, at least for awhile or until people got used to each other. That is if the same people worked together on a regular basis. Just some food for thought. It is a great idea.
That's an important question! I don't have much experience working with a structured organization to give a concrete idea on how this should work. But one of the immediate solutions I can think of is by having one or a few "directors" possibly consolidating the materials into cohesive writeups by actually re-writing on the wealth of inputs by others. Chunks of materials written by others will be vetted/curated before funneling into that consolidation phase.
That would be the best solution that I could come up with as well. Magazines and newspapers work in a way similar to this. The only thing that would be different is that multiple people collaborate one one article, and not just one person per article. I guess the best thing would be to just give it a try and see what happens.
