I'm a big fan of turnitin for focused writing feedback. Over the years, I have found that when students edit other students work, they read it over and make a few grammatical comments and, unless it is very poorly written, they don't give much feedback.
Turnitin Peer Edit allows you to ask targeted questions that the students have to answer as they read the paper. This way you can focus on whatever element of writing is being taught or is an area of focus. If students are asked to identify what descriptive words are used or tell the writer's thesis, they are more likely to notice if those elements are present and if the quality is acceptable.
As a teacher, prepping the questions, there is a great feature where you can use questions from their library, create your own questions or use a mixture of both. Once you create a series of questions, you can actually save them as a library so you can reuse them in the future. Unfortunately you can't share out libraries yet, but it's something to look forward to having one day.
