Is it possible to write a publishable, peer-reviewed academic paper in a day? We attempted
this task in 2016, motivated by a desire to find new ways of doing academic work in the face
of our growing sense of alienation within the neoliberal academy. This paper provides our
analysis of academic alienation and an auto-ethnography of our experiment. We discuss four
lessons learned: (1) knowledge as a social relation, (2) time and the academy, (3) gender and
collaborative writing, and (4) the contradictions and possibilities of anarchy and authorship.
We also offer practical advice for scholars looking to engage in similar collaborations.
