Every author starts by juggling many things in their life, including family and jobs, resulting in little time for writing. This leaves one feeling stretched thin—almost like a ghost. We are revenants, returning from our daily demands to continue the work we love in storytelling.
Studio
In my day job I help coordinate teams of software developers,
and this has led me to wonder—can we create books using similar collaborative
techniques?
I am exploring the idea of a creator's studio designed on principles used in
film, game, media, and creative software developement, using collaborative
processes (such as Pixar's Braintrust).
For writers, this is not simply writing with a partner, it's about
designing amazing stories, and creating something better than the sum of
each individual contributor, and doing it in a studio where each
contributor maintains a stake in their creative output.

Revenant Creative Studio Writer's Welcome Deck.
