Back in the days of meeting face-to-face…
Writers workshop participants would typically bring along their printed and marked-up copies of the works to be discussed. After the session ended, we would give our markups to the writer. Now, in the Zoom era, we need another method to accomplish the same end result.
When you email your comments and suggestions to a fellow writer, you are providing them with valuable notes on your particular reader experience. Praise is always welcome but constructive criticism is much more valuable. Obvious things like typos and style suggestions can now be easily highlighted, extra words can be struck out, and comments can be added in the sidebar. Once you learn to do this digitally, you can save your marked up documents and send them to the author.
