Ebook: On Book Sprints

In this book, we reflect on the process of the Book Sprint as a form of collaborative engagement and knowledge production. Simply put, it is a group of people and a facilitator coming together to write a book in three to five days. However, sprinting contains a number of important and unique potentials for the creation of new knowledges, new ideas, new concepts and, most importantly, new books to emerge as a collective project. In delivering these outcomes, Book Sprints can be taken as a set of 'patterns' or know-how that enables the rapid development and writing of a short-form to medium-length text as a generative practice.
