Airborne - by James Patterson and 28 other writers

From Sarah Perez on ReadWriteWeb

Best-selling crime author James Patterson will release a new kind of novel next month - one that's been collaboratively written with the crowd. Called AirBorne, the upcoming novel will feature 30 chapters, each written by a different author except the first and last - those will be written by Patterson himself. With the release of this book, it appears the Web 2.0 movement of collaborative writing is about to hit the mainstream.

Chapters will be released electronically, with the writers having been selected through a competition for aspiring novelists.
