I am building a self-publishing web site. I want to integrate Google Docs into my website and allow every publisher/writer to write her/his book from my website and later update the content from either my website or directly from google docs, and to keep the two versions of content in sync.

Is this possible? Thanks!

Yes, this is possible.

You can fetch Google Docs file content, and upload new content with the Google Documents List API.

You will currently have to perform the sync manually yourself if you edit it outside Google Docs, in which case you would reupload the file content.
