133: Collaborative Writing 2: The Last Glacier Hotel

Under the right circumstances and with the right people for me, creative collaboration is my happiest happy place. 

This is the second of two ASBX episodes about writing scripted audio fiction collaboratively. You’ll hear from the Soapbox Audio Collective Writing Team 2 that includes Allan Maule, Ian Finley and me, Tamara Kissane. Together we’re writing The Last Glacier Hotel.

This episode and the previous one are windows into our collaborative writing process and include things we learned, tips for other writers who might want to try this, and tantalizing details about the stories of Jesus Pancake and The Last Glacier Hotel. (Transcript available upon request.
