Help with finding a plugin

My client wants to do this


With Social Publishing, as each chapter is written it goes on line for free on the author’s site and is syndicated through social media and through the authors site, and through other Journey Grrrl Publishing sites for 30 days. In exchange we ask readers for feedback – essentially crowd sourcing the editing.

After 30 days, a new chapter is released for free and the previous chapter goes behind a 97 cent pay wall – still cheap but no longer free and no longer asking for feedback. You can also put multi-media behind the pay wall – such as a related video or audio file.

As the next chapter goes up, a virtual assistant assembles all the feedback into a tidy package for the author to do a rewrite at their leisure but before final publication.

When all chapters are up – the parcels of feedback are incorporated by the author, front matter is added and a Bonus Material chapter is created and a quick final edit is completed. Since the editing has been crowded source the final edit is just to clean up inconsistencies or errors but not as a rethink of the book. The bonus material could be compiled blog posts, a bonus tool, a piece of creative writing by the author – something not found online for free and something that makes us feel close to the author personally. The final edit takes another 30 days. So the publication of a 10 chapter book will take 11 months.

Once the book is complete, each chapter stays online for $0.97 – unedited.

A PDF of the whole edited book with bonus material is placed online for a 25% premium of the chapters – e.g. if there were 10 chapters it would by $9.97 PLUS 25% or $12.47

A hard copy of the whole edit booked with bonus material is available for say at 2x the per chapter cost – e.g. if there were 10 chapters it would by $9.97 TIMES 2 or $19.94 (shipping included)

Best of all, all contributors, whether their edits or suggestions were used or not, are listed in the print book and are offered a Specially Bound, Autographed copy of the book at a discount, as well as the opportunity to buy in bulk at a discount if they want to take advantage of it.


I've never tried to integrate anything like this into wordpress and I am wondering what the best plugin to use that is compatible with Studiopress themes is....

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all
