What You'll Do (Not Just Learn — Do)
A 3-hour live workshop on Zoom taught by Leanpub cofounders Peter Armstrong and Len Epp, in three one-hour parts (all times Pacific): 10–11am — Getting started with Leanpub: create your book project and start writing your first chapter, previewing it as a professional PDF and EPUB; 11am–noon — GhostAI: write faster with Leanpub's AI writing assistant; noon–1pm — Marketing: learn how to market and sell your book. Come for all three hours, or just the parts you want — if a section isn't for you (say GhostAI), skip it and drop back in for the next. Real interaction, not a passive webinar.
You'll write in plain text using Markdown, a simple format used not only by writers and developers everywhere, but also understood by AI like ChatGPT and Claude. No special software needed. Leanpub turns your Markdown files into a professionally formatted book that you can sell or share immediately. You'll publish in-progress, get feedback from early readers, and iterate as you go.
No prior writing or publishing experience required. Just bring your idea.
What is Leanpub?
Leanpub is a self-publishing platform used by thousands of nonfiction authors. You write in Markdown, and Leanpub generates a professional PDF, EPUB, and web version of your book. You keep 80% of every sale of $7.99 and up, and 80% minus 50 cents for sales below $7.99. Over $15 million USD in royalties have been paid to Leanpub authors.

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. PengAssociate Professor of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public HealthLeanpub'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.

Daniel RootAuthor, Trello DojoWith 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.
