Karen Williams is one of the leading Book Mentors in the UK. Through her company, Librotas, she helps business experts who want to stand out from the crowd to write a non-fiction book that allows them to grow their business, raise their credibility and get more clients.

Karen originally trained as a coach, but after the success of her own book The Secrets of Successful Coaches, and understanding the impact a book can have on a business, she began to mentor others through the process.

Karen is a Member of the Association for Coaching (MAC), and her company is a Partner Member of The Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi), where Karen is also a regular contributor to the blog.

Karen joins me for the second time on the show to discuss how her business has evolved since we last spoke on Episode #48, and why she has embraced technology to advance and develop Librotas as a business. She shares her ten principles for writing and publishing a business book and how to avoid stalling during the writing process. Karen also shares details of her brand-new signature online program, the Smart Author System, and how she took it from concept to complete course available on her website during the recent period of quarantine.
