A Beginner's Guide to MAPs (Multi-Author Projects) | Mary Felkins, Dalyn Weller, Kit Morgan

As an author, there are lots of ways to collaborate with other writers. You can co-write a book, ghostwriter for people and remain in the background, be part of a series or anthology, and more.

However, I confess that until recently, I had never heard of MAPs, otherwise known as Multi-Author Projects. These are typically a series of books written by different authors, but set in the same world or universe, and often some of the same characters.

I was talking via email with my friend, Mary Felkins, who is a fantastic author herself, about something entirely different. She mentioned she was participating in these kinds of collaborative projects, and I thought it would be fun to interview Mary and two of her collaborators, Dalyn Weller and Kit Morgan.

Some of the topics we dive into include: What are the parameters of a MAP and how they work, why you might want to collaborate in this way, how cross-promotion works when doing these kinds of projects, the limitations and benefits, and much more.
