Collaborative writing is often important for interdisciplinary teaching, interdisciplinary
research, and technical communication. Interdisciplinarians can thus benefit from recognizing
several key problems that plague collaborative writing initiatives and identifying strategies
for addressing these. This paper draws on the practice of collaboration in Japanese poetry to
suggest strategies for dealing with the most common problems in collaborative writing.
