So, this is just something I have wanted to do for a while. I want to write the books I have in my head, but I am thinking maybe instead of just publishing them I want to maybe let people read a few chapters before I publish the whole book. I can get an idea if they wish to keep reading what I am writing about.
Any of you have a suggestion for a Module that would maybe do this type of thing for me? I would also like to write the book in my web page background so if I do keep writing it fully it would be there for me to download and format for publishing. Is any of this making sense lol?
A Book Module Idea?

Hi Tom,
That sounds like a great project! Trongate makes it easy to create a custom module tailored to your needs. You could build a Book Preview Module that allows:
• Chapter Previews – Users can read a few chapters before deciding if they want more.
• Feedback Collection – Add a simple comment or voting system to gauge reader interest.
• Author Dashboard – A secure area where you can write and manage chapters directly from your site.
• Export Feature – Save your work as a structured file (e.g., Markdown or PDF) for later publishing.
Cheers,
Si
