What is Book Bootcamp 1-on-1?
Direct 1-on-1 with Peter. Weekly 90-minute private sessions with Peter Armstrong, founder of Leanpub — 4, 8, or 12 sessions depending on your tier. Win your tuition back as a service credit that fully covers the matching GlobalAuthor tier (Standard, Pro, or Max) — a clean dollar-for-dollar match. Literally free if you do the work. Every tier includes a 1-Year Ultra Author Membership on Leanpub and full access to GhostAI as your between-session AI editor.
This isn't a group program. It's weekly 90-minute private sessions with Peter — pick a 4-week Standard, 8-week Pro, or 12-week Max tier. Bring complex problems — memoir with legal/sensitivity issues, a technical book with unique structural needs, a book you've been stuck on for years — and get Peter's full attention every session.
How It Works
Every week you meet Peter Armstrong one-on-one for a 90-minute private session on Zoom — 4, 8, or 12 sessions depending on your tier. This isn't a webinar you watch. It's a working session with a strict format: teaching, hands-on coaching, and a concrete commitment for the week ahead. We arrange your recurring weekly time directly with you after you enroll.
Every Call: 90 Minutes, Interactive Coaching
Every single week, you get help. This is not a set of lectures you watch passively. Every session is an interactive working session with Peter Armstrong, founder of Leanpub.
Undivided attention. It's just you and Peter — direct coaching every session 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 to stay on track to finish your book.
GhostAI has a certain set of skills…
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.
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 service credit equal to your full tuition that fully covers the matching GlobalAuthor tier — Standard, Pro, or Max, a clean dollar-for-dollar match. You literally cannot lose.
60-Day 100% Happiness Guarantee
Within 60 days of purchase you can get a 100% refund on your Book Bootcamp 1-on-1 purchase ($3499), no questions asked. If you request a full refund, you will lose the Win-Your-Money-Back 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!
