(PSA) AI Book Writing Challenge: Context & Invitation

Hey everybody,

Based on the response and overall interest in taking on the challenge to leverage AI to write and produce a book manuscript in one day, I want to continue the conversation only with those who want to and are serious about committing to going through this process working with me to guide you and enable you with tools and resources that I've been developing that can accelerate this process. 100X what we were capable of doing five years ago.

There is so much more to writing a good book than simply prompting ChatGPT a couple of times and having to get you generic AI slop content.

There are also levels to being able to:

1. Ideate and brainstorm

2. Outline

3. Write and produce chapters that are cohesive in a line to create a book manuscript

There are also levels of using AI within this process to not just create the content inside the book, but also to make the content of the book better, more actionable, and useful for the readers of your book.

There are also levels of understanding the entire book writing and publishing process to then lead into the marketing of a book. And then there are also levels to how fast you want to go to get the damn manuscript out of your head in the first place so that you can actually get it to the point where you can start to edit the book or you can pass it along to an editor that you've chosen to work with. Because at the end of the day, AI or not, we need to get the first minimum viable book out of our head and onto paper first and formalize the content idea and strategy to gain feedback from your first readers and those who will be providing additional resources or support along the way to helping you launch your book.

Some people have ambitious goals with their book to hit number one bestseller on the New York Times. Some people want to write a book for their internal team to provide a manual for operations within their company. Some people want to write multiple books to support their company's operations, whether it's sales or marketing related or enabling new team members as they're onboarding to the company. There are so many different ways that you can leverage a book as an informational resource to providing organized content to people in such a way that they can take it, understand it, and then implement it.

The implementation here is key, and that is where I see the world of publishing going. It is something that I am working on right now with a client on not only creating their book with them and extracting their knowledge and their resources and their frameworks to incorporate inside of the book.

We are also developing processes to create an interactive version of the book so that readers can engage with those books and take faster action on what the authors are teaching them to do.

You may have seen authors doing this in some form already, or you may be considering how you could do this for your own books to service your clients, your customers, your readers, your students, your employees, your team members, your stakeholders, whatever it may be.

From a non-fiction point of view, a book is often compared to that of a business card. While I don't think that in the traditional sense, people will typically read the book start to finish, the act of putting a book together, organizing content, and delivering it in a way that is digestible and actionable for your readers, whoever they may be, is part of what sets great authors apart from those who are unable to actually focus for any length of time to organize the content that's in their head or outside of their head in any sort of meaningful way. As a result of that, the communication is not clear. Not just in their book, but maybe in other areas of how they communicate as well.

Some people use a book as a marketing mechanism for their content machine to batch all the content that they may be posting on the social media and may never actually publish the manuscript that they write because they're using the content in other ways, shapes, and forms.

Some people are serial authors and are looking for ways to accelerate the book drafting process so that they can be more effective in their overall writing process. Whether you identify with any of the ways I described above or you have some other experience that would translate into a book….

One thing I can speak to from my own experience and perspective is taking the “AI AUTHOR” approach, while simple in the framework, highly effective at producing a manuscript in an incredibly short amount of time that you can take and build upon to market, launch, and leverage for your business.

RIGHT NOW

I am looking to facilitate and guide a cohort of people who want to write a book and accelerate the process by leveraging AI.

On the weekend of February 28th, a one to two day AI book writing challenge where we will work together to implement our AI book writing frameworks.

With tools, skills, and agents that we've been developing to support you along this process, to do pre-work that organizes and solidifies the content for a reference point for the idea of the book and an outline that will follow.

Because without an outline, how can you write a book?

This weekend, we will work together to implement this process that you can leverage for yourself in a fraction of the time it would traditionally take to do this process manually, let alone with even AI on your own. This cohort will give you the space to focus, to co-work, and to hold you accountable to getting this book draft written so that you can take it and move it along inside the publishing process to launching it for your business.

You might consider this an AI hackathon for writing books. You might consider this to be a place where you can take a quantum leap forward in your capabilities. Producing content for your business, sales, marketing, and operations. That you can leverage as an asset once you've created it. Again and again to accelerate your growth in an area of your business that matters most right now.

If you're 100% absolutely serious about writing your book and doing so with AI-powered systems, agent skills, tools, and resources to support you along the way for implementing this process to produce a book in as little as one day…

Knowing and understanding that absolutely I will hold you accountable to doing the work on your own while providing the resources for implementing so you can continue to write, refine, edit, and move the book towards the path to published while getting the core manuscript, the minimum viable manuscript, out in a weekend. And using that manuscript as a source of truth for all the supporting marketing material and content that you can create around your business, your offer, your product, your services.

SO MANY THINGS

And if you've gone through our Claude mastery sprint or implementation intensive, or if you have a solid understanding of how to use Claude code and other platforms that can help produce the marketing material, the visual assets, the landing pages, and everything that can complement the launch of a book?

Then the quantum leap forward that could be taken this weekend during this challenge in this type of hackathon could have a massive impact on how you leverage AI moving forward in your business.

Because the book is great from a content side. But the marketing and how you use it once you've built the asset is where the time savings and the revenue-generating activities come into play.

So if you'd like to work with me and a cohort of people on the same mission to write their book and execute this process on February 28, please do one of 3 things to signal to me I should reach out to you to chat about this more and see if it is a fit for us to work together in this cohort and if so. We’ll take the next steps to enroll from there and begin preparing for the intensive.

1) comment on this post

2) answer the Poll question accordingly

3 ) bonus: DM me directly and tell me about the ONE book you want to focus on during this time and why now is the time to write it.

If this sounds like a cool idea, but you're not willing to commit the time during this weekend - as in, you wouldn't be willing to show up for kickoff calls, check-ins, and actually doing the work while we were off of calls so that you could get the job done.

Then please don't bother with this because I'm very serious about only allowing people in that can actually commit and do the work to write their book going through this process specifically on this weekend. This isn’t a course

If this sounds cool, and you are willing to commit the time during that weekend, and are all in on going through this process with me, then please drop a comment, answer the poll, and shoot me a message so we can begin the conversation.

Price: $297

Here's to writing your next book.
