Smart Author - Fast Track: A Nine-Month Mastermind Programme to Turn Your Book Idea Into a Powerful Resource for Your Business
Do you dream of writing a book that transforms your business, establishes your authority, and makes a bigger difference in the world?
Imagine having a book that distills your ideas, expertise, and insights into a powerful tool. A book that attracts perfect clients and positions you as the go-to expert in your industry ‒ amplifying your message and creating new opportunities for growth, influence, and impact.
But let’s be real ‒ the journey from “I have an idea” to “I’m a published author” can feel overwhelming.
Where do you start? How do you find time? And how can you be sure your book aligns with your business goals and truly resonates with your audience?
That’s where I come in. I’m Karen Williams, The Book Mentor. Since 2014, I’ve helped hundreds of experts, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders write business-building books.
These books have led to incredible opportunities, including increased speaking engagements, corporate clients, worldwide book sales, licensing deals, online memberships, successful crowdfunding campaigns, and exciting publishing opportunities.
With 10 bestselling books of my own, I know what it takes to write a brilliant book ‒ and how easy it is to write the wrong one. That’s why I created the Smart Author System and the Smart Author – Fast Track programme.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When and where are the sessions?
All the sessions are held via Zoom. Full information, including dates and the Zoom link, will be provided when you sign up. The Coffee and Connect Café is on Tuesday lunchtimes from 12-1pm UK time, the Group Coaching Sessions are usually on the first Wednesday of the month (6-7.30pm UK time), and the Group Implementation Sessions are on the third Wednesday of the month (6-8pm UK time) - both are recorded if you can't make them live.
What's process will I follow?
I advise you to start by going through the Smart Author online programme, as this will give you the foundational piece to get the most from our group sessions. Most authors go through the following process:
Month 1: You will focus on the planning stage, so that you know what you're writing, who it's for, and the flow of your book. You'll create a strong structure and solid framework for the book as a whole and for individual chapters.
Months 2-7: You will be ready to start writing and crafting your content. You will be pulling your ideas together into a manuscript and working on business building activities alongside the writing.
Month 8: At the editing stage, you’ll be given help to get social proof for your book, find the right peer review team and go from the first draft to a final manuscript that you are proud of.
Months 9: You’ll be taken through the process to follow to publish your book, so that you can choose the right publishing option and source a team or publisher to help you (please note that publishing is not included in this package).
Throughout, we will be working on marketing activities leading up to your launch so that you can build your community, create anticipation and pre-sell your book before it is published, enabling you to maximise the effectiveness of your book.
What results will I get from Smart Author - Fast Track
Our goal is to ensure you get to the final manuscript by the end of the nine months (if not before) and write a book that you are proud of - as long as you do the work, turn up for the sessions, and follow the process.
We will ensure you don't make expensive mistakes, waste time on the wrong things, or write the wrong book!
Results our clients have achieved include increased speaking and corporate opportunities, worldwide book sales, licensing opportunities, online memberships and programmes, new clients and partnership opportunities, finalists at the Business Book Awards (and other awards), publishing deals, and successful crowdfunding campaigns.
