What is Book Bootcamp?

6-Week AI-Powered Book Bootcamp. Pay $1999. Show up for 6 weeks. Finish your book. We hand you $1999 back as a service credit. The bootcamp is literally free if you do the work. You get hands-on coaching on GhostAI — our open-source (MIT) suite of AI editing tools built on Claude Code — as your personal development editor, copy editor, and structural advisor. Whether you're stuck at 20% or 80%, this program gives you the structure, AI tools, accountability, and expert guidance to get it done.

Win Your Money Back: Show up for every session or finish your book and you earn a $1,999 service credit which you can use toward Publish on Amazon, CourseAI Pro or GlobalAuthor Standard (each of which costs $1999), or applied toward GlobalAuthor Pro or GlobalAuthor Max.

This isn't generic advice. Your coach is a Leanpub founder, either Peter Armstrong or Len Epp, who know Leanpub inside and out. Plus, GhostAI gives you AI-powered editorial feedback between sessions — development editing, copy editing, and structural review on demand. Every live session is focused on removing the specific obstacles between you and a finished book. Writing, formatting, publishing workflow, marketing strategy — whatever's blocking you, we'll work through it together. Groups are capped at 8 authors so everyone gets real attention.

How It Works

Over 6 weeks, your group meets for a 90-minute call every week. Groups are small — maximum 8 authors — so every person gets a hot seat every single call. This isn't a webinar you watch. It's a working session with a strict format: teaching, individual coaching, and public commitments.

Every Call: 90 Minutes, Interactive Coaching

Every single week, you get help. This is not six 90-minute lectures you watch passively. Every call is an interactive working session with a Leanpub founder and your fellow authors.

Individual attention for everyone. With a maximum of 8 authors per group, every person gets direct coaching every call — on writing, publishing, formatting, marketing, or whatever is blocking you.

Accountability that works. You'll share your progress, get feedback on your work, and make commitments for the coming week. The group keeps you on track to finish your book.

What is GhostAI?

GhostAI is a suite of Claude Code skills purpose-built for book authors. Unlike web-based AI tools that work on snippets of text, GhostAI operates at the file-system level — it understands your full manuscript structure, maintains context across chapters, and integrates directly with your writing workflow. GhostAI is open source under the MIT license.

  • /ghost-review — Development editor: reads your full manuscript structure, provides feedback on organization, flow, pacing, gaps, and repetition
  • /ghost-edit — Copy editor: line-level editing for grammar, clarity, tone, and technical accuracy on individual chapters
  • /ghost-draft — Writing assistant: generates a first draft from your outline
  • /ghost-expand — Writing assistant: expands bullet points and notes into polished prose

Requirements

Book Bootcamp includes GhostAI, which requires Claude Code (terminal-based AI tool) with an Anthropic API key. macOS or Linux required (WSL2 on Windows is fine). Setup instructions will be provided before your first session.

Win Your Money Back Guarantee

We call it Win Your Money Back because completing the program is the win. Show up to every session, or complete and publish your book at 100% on Leanpub — and you earn a $1999 service credit toward Publish on Amazon, GlobalAuthor Standard, or any Leanpub author service. Publish on Amazon is $1999, so the service credit covers its full cost. You literally cannot lose.

60-Day 100% Happiness Guarantee

Within 60 days of purchase you can get a 100% refund on your Book Bootcamp purchase ($1999), no questions asked. If you request a full refund, you will lose the $1999 service credit.

We're so confident in Book Bootcamp that we're happy to offer a full money-back guarantee. You can only find out how good something is by trying it, and because of our 100% money-back guarantee there's literally no risk to do so!

Leanpub authors love Leanpub.

We're authors too, and we built Leanpub to be the platform we would love to use. It turns out, we weren't alone...

  • As an academic, I like Leanpub because it lets me write and get my ideas out there quickly. Leanpub is simply the best place for publishing my books.

    Roger D. Peng
    Associate Professor of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
  • Leanpub's book-creation tools allowed me to focus on creating the types of books I wanted to write instead of worrying how to create my own book publishing toolchain. I have never regretted using Leanpub to publish my ebooks.

    Chris Hartjes
    The Grumpy Programmer
  • Leanpub takes the pain out of publishing. They provide the tools, you provide the books and then magic happens.

    Ryan Bigg
    Author, Multitenancy with Rails
  • I love using Leanpub because I can write my book using simple Markdown notation. Leanpub let's me focus on my content and they handle the rest.

    Taylor Otwell

    Phil Sturgeon
    Author, Build APIs You Won't Hate
  • Leanpub helps me see my books as I write them. Even better, I can find readers early, to read my books and offer suggestions. I can pivot, if I see the need.

    Johanna Rothman
    Author of 8 Leanpub books and counting…
  • Leanpub made it simple for me to run with my book idea and build my reputation in the Ruby community. I went from first draft to first sale in days, not months or years.

    Aaron Sumner
    Author, Everyday Rails Testing with RSpec
  • Four years ago, I joined Leanpub to just give it a try. Today, over 28,000 book sales later, I cannot help but say that I'm the biggest Leanpub fan on this planet!

    Manuel Kiessling
    Author, The Node Beginner Book
  • Leanpub makes publishing your own book super easy. The fact that you can release updates continually helps with the mindset of getting a minimum version out ASAP and then iterating to improve.

    Karen Greaves

  • I earn more royalties from my books on Leanpub than I do with well established publishers or through Amazon (which I publish on thanks to Leanpub's mobi conversion).

    Paul Bradshaw

  • Leanpub allows me focus on content, takes care everything else and offers an amazing author royalty. It’s a fantastic platform for writing and publishing books.

    Simon Brown
    Author, Software Architecture for Developers
  • I love that Leanpub makes writing and publishing a beautiful book so simple. I no longer spin my wheels with layouts and formats - Leanpub gets out of the way when it's time to write, and then automates everything when it's time to publish.

    Daniel Root
    Author, Trello Dojo
  • With Leanpub, the first person who purchased my book for $9.99 almost two years ago (and only received a preface, and two short intro chapters) has had access to almost every bit of knowledge I've gained in those two years, and *that's* the value.

    Jeff Geerling
    Author, Ansible for DevOps
  • Simple and lean, forces me to focus on writing and marketing, and pays excellent royalties.

    Reg "Raganwald" Braithwaite

    Paul Redmond
    Author of Writing APIs With Lumen
