AI usage
Ten times the AI usage of Max
Your Ultra Author Membership includes ten times the AI usage of Max, a new month's worth every month on every term: enough for heavy usage of the GhostAI skills and GhostAI Studio.
It runs GhostAI, the writing collaborator built into the Leanpub editors.

months on The Shelf, every year you're a member
The Shelf
Two months on The Shelf, every year
The Shelf is the bookshelf on the Leanpub homepage: a month there puts your book in front of every reader who lands on Leanpub. Each month on The Shelf includes promotion in a weekly and a monthly sale newsletter.
Your months are for any of your published books. How they arrive depends on the term you choose:
- Annual: both months are yours the day you join, to use whenever you want them.
- Quarterly: a quarter's worth at a time, which comes to two months a year.
- Monthly: a month on The Shelf every six months you're a member.

30-minute 1:1 calls a year, with Peter or Len
1:1 calls, Len's queue, member prices
A 1:1 call for every quarter, and member prices on Leanpub's AI tools
Four 30-minute 1:1 calls a year with Peter or Len: a debugging session for your book, a launch walkthrough, code review for your book, whatever you want the half hour for. One unlocks for each quarter you've paid for: after three monthly payments, with each quarterly payment, and all four at once on the annual term.
You are in Len's priority queue for two Launch videos about your book (the first whenever you're ready, after you've published in-progress; the second when you're at 100%) and for an interview on the Leanpub Podcast, whenever it makes sense for you.
The 1:1 calls come with a paid membership. A Book Weekend ticket's six months are paid Ultra Author, and count as your first monthly payment if you go on to Ultra Author monthly before they end. A month of Ultra Author that came with any other ticket has the AI usage, GhostAI Studio and the member prices, and leaves the calls out.
