Writing the paper: a collaboration? (archived)

Now it's time for me/us to try to turn the contents of this blog into a 7,000 word paper: 'Geographies of food: afters' which will need to be submitted to Progress in Human Geography in the next 6-8 weeks.

What follows is for only those who have contributed below, the co-authors of this review: Lucius Hallett, Mimi Sheller, David Nally, Rachel Slocum, Louise Crewe, Alison Hulme, Julie Guthman, Kersty Hobson, Damian Maye, Heike Henderson, Emma Roe, Henry Buller, Mike Goodman, Paul Kingsbury, Andrew Murphy, Jean Duruz, Charlie Mather, Allison Hayes-Conroy, Jessica Hayes-Conroy, Lisa Tucker, Richard LeHeron, Chris Philo, Heather Putnam and me. (plus one or two people I'm still hoping/expecting to contribute way past the last minute).

Can each of you please do the following?
1) have a look at the post below called 'collaborative writing'.
2) have a look at the post below called 'conclusions'.
3) have a look at the discussion that started in the comments at the end of Allison & Jessica's 'Collective writing...' post.
4) add your comments anywhere (or send to me to post)...

I've set the clock again (2 weeks and counting).

After these new discussions have taken place, I'll put together a draft paper in the way that we agree this should be done, circulate it via email for comments, redraft, circulate and again and submit.

Hope this catches you at a good time. Again, please shoot from the hip, rattle things off, splurge, dump... whatever helps to make this a quick and easy task!

Things are coming together nicely. One step to go. Thanks for all of your efforts so far.
