Writing a book can feel incredibly lonely, and when we write in solitude, we can find ourselves stuck for a very long time. This week, internationally recognized writer, teacher, and speaker Dr. Diana Pavlac Glyer shares exactly why and how collaboration brings out the best in their work.

Diana paints an expansive definition of collaboration and describes the many forms it can take, like encouragement, practical support, and critical feedback. Her advice equips writers to take the first step in identifying their needs and finding the right people to fill them. Ultimately, inviting others into our author journey will not only bring your work to life, but it also makes the process of creating a book less daunting and more sustainable.

Berry Powell Press will be publishing Diana’s four-book Writer’s Foundation series where she will break down the process of writing, revision, and collaboration for writers at any stage in the process. She has authored several books including The Company They Keep, The Bandersnatch, Clay in the Potter’s Hands, and A Compass for Deep Heaven.
