"How to self-publish your first book in 14 days with AI" — Dickie & Cole

Why this is skipped

Skipped — pure sales pitch for Self-Publishing Studio Bootcamp (enrollment opens 2026-05-25, runs Jun 1-12), no extractable framework. The "5-step process" is generic Amazon KDP self-publishing (write → hire cover designer ~$1-5k → format via Reedsy → upload to KDP → preview + publish) that every aspiring indie author already knows. The AI / 14-day angle is gated behind the paid course ("our proven system and prompts"); the email itself contains zero prompts, no outline structure, no chapter template, no cover-brief format. Classic Write With AI "writing-tagged but actually sales" pattern flagged in the whitelist README.

Meta-signal worth noting (not enough to file a full assessment): Dickie & Cole are productizing the AI-assisted self-publishing workflow that vault docs like the "ship a non-fiction book using Claude" thread have already mapped. If RDCO ever ships an info-product on book authorship, this is the competitor / market validation. Logged here so the funnel is in the timeline but not given more vault real estate than warranted.
