Books in this groundbreaking series respond to the growing paradigm in creativity theory that emphasizes the multiplicity of people and roles involved in the creative process, and the corresponding need for concrete illustrations of how to think about individual lives and their distinctive contributions.

This series allows readers to engage with concrete, dynamic examples of how participatory and distributed views of creativity affect how we think about individuals doing creative work.
