Testimonials

This plugin is a gamechanger. To anyone who’s wanted to grow their site but has been a little uncomfortable handing over the reins completely, PublishPress is exactly what you need. With it, you can easily create a workflow spread across different roles from writers to VAs to editors. It’s already saved me a ton of time as I’ve been able to hire a VA to format posts while limiting their ability to publish. Just fantastic!

This plug-in is a fabulous tool and provides excellent work-flow management.
