   Is there a plugin that will do this? I'm using the "Members" plugin and have my Contributors set to be able to edit drafts but not published posts, so if they need to edit their post, the process currently looks like this:

   1. Contributor contacts me with the title of the post they'd like to edit

   2. I locate the post and demote it from published to draft status, making it available to them for editing

   3. Contributor edits post and resubmits it as pending approval

   4. I check the edited post and approve/re-publish it.

   Currently, the system I have set up DOES send them an email at step #4, but I'd also like an email automatically sent to the Contributor at step #2 (i.e. "your post is now available for editing"). Is there a plugin that can do this?

   Bump. I'm also open to the idea of editing existing code, if anyone has any ideas on that! I'm using the WP Status Notifier plugin to receive an email myself (admin) when a contributor submits a draft for review/publishing, but maybe someone could help guide me through modifying Draft Notifier to send to the author when their post is set to "draft" status, rather than the admin?

   Just to clarify, I'm wondering if it would be pretty simple (and if someone could help me, since I'm not proficient with writing PHP) to modify the Draft Notifier plugin to send it's emails in the opposite direction (to Contributor, rather than admin) any time something is marked with "draft" status.
