When writer collectives face irreconcilable differences about artistic direction

Our small press collective makes decisions by consensus but we've reached an impasse about our next anthology theme—half of us want something more commercially viable while the other half wants to stay true to our experimental roots. Every meeting becomes a rehash of the same fundamental disagreement about who we are and what we're trying to accomplish, and I'm worried we're going to tear apart what we've built over this decision.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared values can fracture when abstract principles must become concrete choices that exclude other possibilities.
