About Us

The Founders

Collab Writers began as a joint concept between two writers, both short on time, rich on ideas but determined to write. Facing writer’s block going solo, they joined forces and after a year completed a draft of their first book which is currently being edited and prepared for publication.

They’re now writing their second novel. Each is also writing short stories and
other writing projects independently of the other.

Anjali Alford

Anjali Alford works in marketing and is currently writing her second collaborative work called ‘Swipe’ with her business partner, Jennie. Anjali was a longstanding members of the Greenwich Writers Group in the 1990s.

Jennie Griffiths

Jennie Griffiths is an experienced GB qualified lawyer, who has worked as a human rights and consumer rights lawyer in the private and public sectors across public and commercial law. Jennie writes fiction and non-fiction and is currently working on a number of writing projects, including collaborative works with her business partner, Anjali.

She has a special interest in blending fiction and non-fiction and weaving personal and spiritual messages into fictional stories.

How this partnership works

Jennie is great at beginnings, a self- confessed creative ideas merchant.
Anjali is the finisher.
Together they are a great example of how Collabwriters’ ‘talent incubator’ works.

Founding collaborative partner

Elliot Grove, the founder of Raindance Film Festival and the British Independent Film Awards has thrown his hat into the ring as a founding collaborative partner.

I am pleased to be able to contribute to this exciting new venture. In my nearly thirty years working with writers and filmmakers I can see how Collab Writers fulfils an unique and important need.
