how to organize a collaborative literary project

1. go to http://docs.google.com

2. click the Create button and choose Collection and give it a new name, e.g. My Collaborative Book Project

3. right click the name of the new collection in the menu on the left and choose Create New > Document. Call it something like INDEX or Ideas/Themes/Subjects to cover. Use this document to write all your ideas, one on each line, with a little description about the idea, then create a new document for each of them, and make each of those idea lines a link to its own document.

4. share your project (collection) with your collaborators. right click the name of the new collection in the menu on the left and choose Share > Share. Type in their email addresses then choose Done.
