Then comes Open writing. This is technically public—anyone with the right URL can access it—but the key difference is: it isn’t advertised. It’s not indexed, promoted, or pushed in front of eyeballs. It's your cottage in the woods. If someone stumbles across it, they’re welcome, but you’re not shouting from the rooftops. Many collaborative public roster projects live here: for example, a niche roster of 20 people across the globe, coming together to research and write about South American froglets. Each participant writes from their own domain, their own little writing hut, yet through shared rosters, they can see each other’s work. These pockets of Open writing may never be known to the world at large—but within them, whole ecosystems of knowledge and story can grow.
