Just share a link, and everyone’s comments will appear in your single document. No need to print out multiple copies of your story, exchange them with your group, and then receive multiple marked up copies back a week or more later.
No need to email Microsoft Word documents or RTF files back and forth. All you need to do to use Google Drive in your writing group is share your document with the other members and enable commenting. If you do all of your (early draft) writing in Google Drive anyway, most of what follows may not be all that useful to you. This being Google Drive, the rest of the writing group will be able to see my comments as soon as I save them. No longer will I have to sit in front of my computer to read (not as pleasant as reading on a tablet) and comment, or read on my tablet only to return to my computer periodically to record my reactions (to the best of my memory), or switch between documents or apps on my tablet (a pain). Finally, I can open a writing-group partner’s chapter on my tablet, sit back and relax and read through it, and insert my reactions as I have them directly in the document - all without having to be anywhere near my laptop.
Why You Should Use Google Docs and Drive in Your Writing Critique Group But the Android app lacked these features until now. The web app has long had a feature that enables users to create, reply to, and resolve comments in a Google document, much like the commenting system in Microsoft Word.
On September 11, 2012, the document editor in Google Docs (now part of Google Drive) finally became useful to me for use in writing groups.
