# Blog for multiple authors

 * First of all, I am completely new to wordpress – but am just exploring some options
   as to the best way forward for a new site I am developing for a book publishers.
 * The basic idea is to have one overarching project site, and then within that 
   each of the publishers author would have their own blog and several pages about
   each of their books. Ideally this could information could all be pulled together
   for the main sites homepage (i.e. top/most recent posts) and potentially automatically
   post to Facebook/Twitter.
 * The site will need to be simple for each of our authors to be able to keep it
   up-to-date, though some may choose not to keep a blog and there could be just
   a few static pages within that.
 * Therefore the whole site will need an over-arching navigation in the theme, and
   then when you go down to each author, there will be almost a fully functioning
   wordpress blog (with its own second menu) below this header).
 * Basically what I am looking for is some advice on whether it would be best to
   set this up using WordPress multi-site, or whether it may best be served using
   a hierarchy of categories?
 * I realise I am probably going to have to learn to create a relatively complex
   theme to be able to do this, but just wondered if anyone had any suggestions 
   as to the best way of approaching this project. The wide array of possibilities/
   features possible within WordPress are slightly baffling at first!
