BoomWriter


BoomWriter is a very cool concept and site. "Celebrity authors" (like me!) write the first chapter of a book, and then students write subsequent chapters to complete the story. Each student writes each chapter, and the class votes online and anonymously for the best submission.


Big thanks to Chris Twyman and Ian Garland for including me in the program. The video "tease" of my chapter - not surprisingly entitled "The Runner" - is extremely well put together. I'm really excited to see how my initial chapter evolves into a collaborative work of fiction.
