Case Study: Vancouver Public Library Foundation raises funds to build Canada’s first Interactive Creation Center with Quip

Vancouver Public Library, Collaborative Writing, and The Food Truck Wars

The Vancouver Public Library Foundation ran a live TOUCH fundraising event where two authors would collaboratively write a short story onstage and prepare it for publication in the Vancouver Sun. They needed a simple, real-time master document to project and edit together, so they chose Quip as the collaborative writing tool to replace the disjointed Google Docs/IRC workflow.

Quip supplied a single live document with commenting and editing tools (and a beta bookmarklet to hide the sidebar from the audience), enabling smooth onstage collaboration and easy export to Word for publication. Using Quip the team produced a complete short story in about four hours, delivered a clean projected experience for attendees, and helped the Vancouver Public Library Foundation raise funds to build Canada’s first Interactive Creation Center.
