Books & Biz is the home base for indie authors using AI to write, market, and publish smarter. Codex packages, Claude plugins, prompt packs, premade covers — and a community where the next drop could change what your week looks like.
Four toolkits, all built to help indie authors write better books faster — and keep more of the joy while you’re at it.
The thing the regulars set their alarms for. Here’s what actually happens.
Twice a month, we run a weekend drop event — a fast-moving release of brand-new codex packages, outlines, and other goodies. Drops are limited quantity, first-come-first-served, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. That’s the whole magic of it.
Every drop is a little different. Some run on Facebook in the First Drafts group, some run right here on booksandbiz.com, and some are a mix of both. The schedule below tells you exactly where each event lives.
Drops post twice a month, always on weekends. Each event lists the date, theme, and where it’s happening.
Items release on a rolling timer. The hottest packages go in the first hour. Refresh, watch, grab.
Each package is one-time-only. Once it’s claimed, it leaves the store and stays gone. No restocks.
Right after the drop wraps, Joe takes over. No filter, no plan, just stories — usually involving Marrow, Mushrooms, and whatever else falls out of his brain that day.
The drop runs 10–3, then Beer Thirty kicks off at 3 and goes until 4. Joe shows up with a beer and starts telling stories — no filters, lots of Marrow & Mushrooms, occasional life advice nobody asked for. It is the best worst hour of your weekend.
Mark your calendar. Then mark it twice.
Each event ends with Beer Thirty — Joe’s storytelling hour.
The Books & Biz Skool community is where the heads-up goes out, the templates live, and the regulars hang out between drops. Three tiers. Pick your speed.
