GhostAI Accelerator

Write your book with GhostAI and take it all the way to Amazon

A year of Ultra Author, the GhostAI Plugin, Publish on Amazon, and personal training: a 90-minute kickoff with a Leanpub trainer or with Peter, and eight 30-minute calls in the year. One payment.

Pricing

From $1997

Leanpub Trainer $1997. Leanpub Founder $2997. One payment. One published book.

GhostAI, a smiling ghost in a train driver's uniform, gives a thumbs up from the cab of a bullet train at 285 km/h, with cherry blossoms and Mount Fuji ahead and the words GhostAI Accelerator across the sky.

Your personal training

A 90-minute kickoff, and eight 30-minute calls in the year.

Five and a half hours, one on one: the kickoff with a Leanpub trainer or with Peter, four implementation calls with a Leanpub trainer and four strategy calls with Peter.

In the kickoff we create your book in the right writing mode. We write your About the Book. We pick your GhostAI path: Studio, the Drawer or the Plugin. We get you up and running in it. We work through your top-level outline. You leave the call with a book that exists.

The eight calls are not rationed. You don't wait three months for each quarter's two. Take all eight in your first few weeks if you like.

GhostAI Accelerator

The service

Four parts.
One published book.

The GhostAI Accelerator bundles four things together, so you finally ship your book: a year of Ultra Author, lifetime access to the GhostAI Plugin, Publish on Amazon for one book, and personal training: a 90-minute kickoff with a Leanpub trainer or with Peter, and eight 1:1 calls in the year.

You write with GhostAI, either in the GhostAI Drawer, the GhostAI Studio, or with the GhostAI Plugin. The GhostAI Drawer and GhostAI Studio require Leanpub AI usage, so we give you a whole year of Ultra Author. This should be more than enough for you since you're using GhostAI. You hopefully won't need the whole year.

If you need help getting started, open GhostAI Studio: it interviews you about your book and drafts the chapters from your answers, so you never start from a blank page. Then, when your book is done, you've got our premium Publish on Amazon concierge service already paid for, so we'll put your book on Amazon for you.

The GhostAI Accelerator, on its Leanpub Trainer tier, is $698 more than Publish on Amazon on its own, and includes everything in Publish on Amazon: your book on Amazon in Kindle, paperback and hardcover, the covers, categories, keywords, description and pricing decided for you, and ten free paperback copies.

Two tiers

Pick who runs your kickoff

Everything in the box is the same, the year's calls included. The difference is who runs your kickoff.

How it works

From your first page to Amazon

  1. 1

    Buy it once

    Your year of Ultra Author goes onto your account, and the GhostAI Plugin, your kickoff and your eight calls go into your library.

  2. 2

    Book your kickoff

    Ninety minutes, one on one, with a Leanpub trainer or with Peter: you hang up with a book that exists, in the right mode, with its About text, your GhostAI path picked and your outline under way.

  3. 3

    Write with GhostAI

    Use the GhostAI Drawer, GhostAI Studio or the GhostAI Plugin, and book your implementation calls and strategy calls along the way, whenever you want them.

  4. 4

    Put it on Amazon

    When your book is at 100% on its progress bar and published, redeem Publish on Amazon from your library, and we put it on Amazon for you.

Who it's for

For authors who are committed to shipping their book

It's for authors who want to write a book with GhostAI and take it all the way: written, published on Leanpub, and then on Amazon.

If your book is already finished and Amazon is all you need, buy Publish on Amazon on its own.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs

What's the difference between Leanpub Trainer and Leanpub Founder?

Everything in the box is the same: the year of Ultra Author, the GhostAI Plugin, Publish on Amazon, the 90-minute kickoff, and the year's eight 30-minute calls, four implementation calls with a Leanpub trainer and four strategy calls with Peter. The difference is who runs your kickoff: on Leanpub Trainer it's a Leanpub trainer, and on Leanpub Founder it's Peter. The kickoff with Peter exists only inside the Accelerator.

On Leanpub Trainer, your kickoff is booked on the trainer's calendar: 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday, Vancouver time. See the calendar

On Leanpub Founder, it's booked on Peter's calendar: 6 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday and Sunday, Vancouver time. See the calendar

The kickoff with Peter: $897, for $1000 more.

I'm already a Max or Ultra member. What happens?

The year is added onto your own membership, and nothing is charged for it. A Max membership stays Max, with Max's AI usage: the year does not move it up to Ultra Author.

If you pay for another author plan, Ultra Author sits on top of it for the year, and your own plan carries on underneath, billing as before.

I already own the GhostAI Plugin. What happens?

It's already yours, and nothing about it changes. The GhostAI Accelerator's price is the same for everyone.

What happens in the Personal Training Kickoff?

Ninety minutes, one on one, on Zoom with your screen shared, you driving, with a Leanpub trainer on the Leanpub Trainer tier and with Peter on the Leanpub Founder tier. You book it from your library at a time that suits you, and you can reschedule free up to 24 hours before. A no-show forfeits it.

When can I take the eight calls?

From the day you buy. The Accelerator is a year paid up front, so all eight are open at once: take them in your first few weeks, or spread them over the year. Eight a year, four of each, with a Leanpub trainer and with Peter: thirty minutes each, booked from your library.

What's the guarantee?

The Leanpub 60 Day 100% Happiness Guarantee, the same as every Leanpub purchase: within 60 days you can ask for a full refund from your library, until you ask for Publish on Amazon. Once Publish on Amazon is under way, the refund closes. Taking the kickoff or a call does not close it.

How does the refund work?

The refund is the whole price. It ends the year of Ultra Author that came with the GhostAI Accelerator (a year added onto your own membership is taken back off it), new downloads of the GhostAI Plugin stop unless you hold it another way, the unredeemed Publish on Amazon goes back, and the kickoff and the calls you haven't taken yet are cancelled. Taking the kickoff doesn't close the refund. Email hello@leanpub.com if anything about it is wrong.

When can I use Publish on Amazon?

When your book is at 100% on its progress bar and published on Leanpub. You redeem it once from your library, and Leanpub does the work of putting it on Amazon.

What happens when the year ends?

A year granted with the GhostAI Accelerator simply ends: nothing renews and nothing is charged. A year added onto your own membership is part of that membership.

To keep going, Ultra Author is $99 a month or $990 a year.
