Background
Penguin Books has launched A Million Penguins, an experiment in crowdsourced novel writing.
As stated on their site "We are used to the romantic notion of the artist or the novelist working alone in an attic room, or in the shed at the bottom of the garden. Yet many of the most highly regarded television programmes of recent years are written by teams of writers...Can a collective create a believable fictional voice?"
"A Million Penguins" is not the only novel out there which is being shaped by a crowd. We have a few more projects to report on in the assignment queue -- and surely there are others we don't know about yet.
Let's find out how these projects work and explore what they produce.
