New publication on collaborative writing

I’m really proud of my co-authored book Ethnography and Virtual Worlds: A Handbook of Method written with the fab Tom Boellstorff, Bonnie Nardi, and Celia Pearce. I learned so much from them, and the process, and it’s been great to see the book go out into the world and get some nice feedback (CSCW, American Ethnologist, LSE Review of Books, Leonardo). Enough folks asked us how we wrote a single-voiced monograph with four people that we have just published a short piece in the ACM magazine Interactions explaining just that. It talks a lot about the tools and the process. Hope some of you find it of interest!
