Let’s Create a Story Together: Join Our Collaborative Storytelling Adventure!
Have you ever dreamed of contributing to a story that unfolds one chapter at a time, with twists and turns added by different voices along the way? Well, now’s your chance!
At The Writing Community Chat Show, we’re all about bringing writers together, so we’re kicking off something special—a Collaborative Storytelling Project where YOU get to write the story alongside us and your fellow subscribers!
The idea is simple but powerful: Each week, we’ll add a new chapter or section to the story in our newsletter, and the plot will evolve based on your suggestions. Whether you’re a seasoned author or an aspiring writer, this is your opportunity to shape a tale with our entire community. Sound fun? Let’s get started!
How It Works:
We Start the Story: In this newsletter, we’ll launch the story with the first chapter or scene. You’ll get a taste of the characters, setting, and tone—but where it goes next is up to you!
You Submit the Next Part: After each newsletter, we’ll ask you to send in your ideas for the next chapter. You can send in anything from a full scene to a plot twist, character development ideas, or even a single line of dialogue that you think should be included. Be creative—surprise us!
We Choose the Best Submissions: Each week, we’ll select a few ideas or submissions and craft the next chapter of the story based on your contributions. You’ll get a shoutout in the newsletter if your idea makes it in!
Rinse and Repeat: The story keeps evolving, shaped by the collective imagination of our incredible writing community. Who knows where it will take us?
Why Participate?
Flex Your Creative Muscles: Collaborative storytelling is a great way to experiment with your writing, step out of your comfort zone, and try new things. Plus, it’s just plain fun to see your ideas woven into a shared story.
Connect with Fellow Writers: This project is all about bringing writers together. You’ll be working alongside your fellow readers, exchanging ideas, and watching as this story takes on a life of its own.
Get Featured: If your submission is chosen, your name will appear in our newsletter as a contributor to the story. This is your chance to shine and be part of something special!
Learn by Doing: Each chapter will bring new challenges and opportunities for growth. You’ll see how different voices, styles, and plot points can work together to create something cohesive—and totally unique.

The Story So Far: Chapter 1
Rain pelted the fogged windows of a Cotswold’s pub. Jane sipped from her house gin and slimline tonic while she stared at the fire dancing before her. The atmosphere was loud, the air smelt of wood fire, pub food, ale, and history. Three missed calls and two text messages are left unanswered on her phone, it vibrated on the table, causing no distraction.
Where Will the Story Go Next?
What is consuming Jane’s mind, is she waiting for someone, or hiding from something? It’s all up to YOU.
Send in your ideas for Chapter 2, and help shape the direction of this collaborative story! Whether you want to introduce a new character, add a thrilling chase, or weave in a supernatural element, we can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Let’s build this story, one chapter at a time. Together.
