WriteShare plugin will give you books with chapters. Turn WordPress into a full featured writing community. With WriteShare, site admins get a writing platform. It’s easy to set up full on writing communities for education. Classes and courses using various Learning Management Systems (LMS) like LearnDash, LifterLMS, Namaste, Sensei, WP Courseware, WP LMS, LearnPress, will find the WP WriteShare plugin a must for all writing and course work submissions. Fanfiction, recipe, journalism/news, longread… hell, any site that invites writers or members to submit text, graphics, or both will want to use WriteShare. WriteShare uses advanced taxonomy features which offer flexibility in how content is organized for both writers and readers, making your WordPress more of a writing platform than a blogging site. Writers will upload their submissions in a simple yet organized format. Writings will be easily searched by not just author and date (that’s the blogging way), but with more search options. WP WriteShare is going to be super easy to use and set up, lightweight, flexible.

I’ve been wanting to use a WordPress blog to host my various creative writing projects for quite a while now, but was unsatisfied with vanilla WordPress for various reasons. WriteShare is the missing piece of the puzzle, and I’m really pleased with the results. It even works well with my favourite WordPress theme! I foresee myself using WriteShare for many projects, both current and future. Additionally, Jacky was very helpful and responsive when I had questions about the plugin and how to get it working as I wanted. Overall, very impressed with both the plugin and the support offered by its creator. Highly recommended for writing-focused sites! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bed097b08db786bf1d46895d69fe7dc417a2406def603dc8d84513d702a22196? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[great plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-17392/)󠁿 [Shaun Michael Samaroo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shaun-michael-samaroo/) March 28, 2018 wow, loving the Writeshare plugin! hope it becomes popular! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9bd32f03ed68eec60f1a4fe088c06d4511dc3324b4f6890d93ef5f77563aa73d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[awesome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-5495/)󠁿 [novelorbook](https://profiles.wordpress.org/novelorbook/) March 10, 2018 Great tool. very useful The best books writing website & novels writing software www.novelorbook.com ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/622f95f22207da2a049dd8560ea97ef08eef1cf81de4880dd7e883bc56a9cd12? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-support-237/)󠁿 [arcania1981](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arcania1981/) November 5, 2017 I love the flexibility of this plugin for personal writing as well as community sites. They were very responsive and helpful when I couldn’t get the chapter dropdown to work and were able to confirm it was a conflict with the particular themes that I’d tried. I’m very happy and plan to use it for my writing.
