SelfPublishing.ai Book Writing Workshop (Case Study)

Hey all - Darby here with a quick announcement about our recent workshop experiment implementing SelfPublishing.ai as an AI book writing engine.

Since 2021, we have been writing books with AI. It's how I had my first big "unlock" with AI. Back then it was Jasper. Now it is Claude, custom skills, and a platform we are building called SelfPublishing.ai.

NOTE: It is still in active development.

We use it inside of a process we implement with clients.

On Saturday Feb 28th, I hosted a workshop where we gathered and implemented the process live. A few weeks of lead time and a 2 hour Big Idea, Research & Outline workshop to prep on Tuesday the week of.

I've shared the replay to this workshop with some technical support trimmed out to reduce the overall recorded time we were on, and additional resources below.

What we see over and over is that people have the information. The ideas. The research. The experience. And it gets stuck. Scattered docs. Half-finished outlines that never make it to a first draft. Much less edited. Much less published.

That is what the SelfPublishing.ai engine is for. Getting it out. Whether it is a book for sales, marketing, operations, or authority. You go through this process and it helps you consolidate, organize, and execute a draft from what you already know.

Nine people went through this on February 28. About 7 hours total across the full process from prep to draft. 3 hours prep. 4 hours on the workshop. On workshop day,

@Chris Lannon

(the developer) joined live. We walked through the platform together. Everyone building at the same time.

@Mark Cruver

wrote his first book with me four years ago. That took an entire weekend. This time he said the process has been "exponentially expedited."

@Jnd Janine N Davis

started at zero and ended at 75 in a few hours.

@Steve Lacy

liked his first chapter enough to start editing on the spot.

@John Gallagher

pulled research from six months ago and generated a full draft.

@Thorsten Laabs

came in with an idea from two days prior and left with a complete manuscript.

The platform works alongside what you are already doing with Claude. We've created specific Skills to help move you forward. And now, SelfPublishing.ai is open for early subscribers.

==> SelfPublishing.ai - get started free, subscription tiers are $9/mo and $99/mo currently and you can buy credit packs depending on when you need more credits for your book projects.

I'm sharing here first in the community first. If you watch the workshop replay and go through the process, or have a question about getting started, drop a comment and let me know.
