Writing collaboratively: A unique experience

 Collaborative writing was a valuable professional development opportunity which enriched my academic principles and most inner feelings. This step of the writing process was important in helping each other find our voice and provide a nurturing environment which placed emphasis on accepting, respecting and also, if necessary, allowing to reframe our peers´ work while increasing a sense of belonging to this small community. It was the combined motivation to explore and participate in the writing process more fully, and that associated with our collective sense of having something important to say, that fuelled the impetus for this collection of work. I would like to share with those reading these lines what emerged from that collaborative spirit of becoming better academic writers!
