Hey Fellow Writer,
You’re passionate about writing, someone who cares deeply about sharing your stories with readers and with the world.
You have great ideas, a vision for your book and yourself as an author, and you know that if you could just get your story in front of an audience, not only would they love it, but you’d have so much opportunity and freedom open up for you. Yet every time you get a chance to write, you’re staring at the page, cursor flashing, with no idea what to put down. You start to nod off, fighting to keep your eyes open after your long day, and finally decide to try again next time. New ideas pop into your head like a flash flood every time you’re in a position where you can’t take advantage of the sudden burst of muse. Despite the numerous notes you’ve already started, you keep trying at the one that feels the most substantial, but you can’t ever cross the finish line.
You’re burned out, exhausted, and the author life you long for feels like a carrot at the end of a stick.
You’re just wishing you could sit down, ignore the blocks, stress, and fears, and finish and publish your book. At the end of every day, you just want to be free to pursue the things you truly love.
The thing is...
You’ve been fighting just to find time to write and blocked when you try and you know that it’s time to make a change and learn how successful authors are doing it!
You know it's time to do something different.
If you...
Have been working on your book for years
Are telling yourself you'll eventually get there
Are thinking maybe this time things will work
Feel reluctant to share with friends or family who have been less than supportive
Are actually wondering if creating your author dream is possible
It's your turn!
It's time to take action and finally become a successfully published author.

"I know everyone has their ups and downs, but for the last 10 yrs or so, I felt like I lived in a hole that did nothing but grow deeper and began to swallow me whole. Then Katelyn tossed me a rope ladder. While at first, I was skeptical, I decided to grab on anyway. Thanks to her support, I broke free of that hole and was able to be free again. I fought. And won."
I'm Kateyn Silva, author of three #1 Amazon bestselling books and more and founder of The Author Mentor.
I help passionate writers go from blocked, unfulfilled, and frustrated to successfully published, free, and thriving.
I work with people who have a burning love for writing and give them the tools and confidence to turn their ideas into successful books.
I’ve been where you are. I know exactly what it’s like!
Ever since I was small, I knew I wanted to be a writer – an author. I had this passion to impact the world and share meaningful stories with others. But for a long time, I would start an idea and then forget where I was going and I had no clue about anything concerning the publishing world. I spent eight years working as a restaurant manager, and I was good at it! I made plenty of money - enough to put my husband through nursing school out of pocket in addition to our bills, childcare, and even occasional trips - and I learned many valuable skills. By many accounts I was successful. But being a restaurant manager took away from my family, and from my passion. It left me feeling unfulfilled, frustrated, and burned out. I didn’t want to work in a restaurant, despite my skills. I wanted to be a full-time writer.
Despite that long-term desire, for several years, I had barely written anything, until finally, the pent-up lack of writing punched me right in the gut.
I needed to write.
It was the kick I needed to finally finish my first book.
I was gung-ho, confident, and ready to share my story. I signed up with a small publisher requesting entries. At the time, I knew so little about publishing that the idea of being traditionally published – regardless of who or how – was more than glamorous.
The short version is that the publisher helped very little and the book totally flopped!
I was so disappointed. Especially when I received first edition copies and only then caught more mistakes than I even wanted to admit! I scrambled to request a re-release – but by that point the book’s reputation was soured. I had sent out several copies to book reviewers with only a couple coming back with less than great reviews and most of the others never reviewing it after accepting my book.
The following couple of years were both illuminating and harsh for me. My publisher was less than transparent about my actual sales (if there were any), and I later realized I was stuck in a contract I couldn’t end. I was still stuck in a job I was burning out in and the wrenching ache to have freedom for my family and to write was growing stronger.
By the end of it, I had learned so much about publishing and becoming a successful author, that I was frustrated because I hadn’t implemented these tactics to become successful sooner – and others had begun to grow skeptical about whether actually being successful as an author was even possible!
But all of that was necessary – because since I made all those mistakes, I can now prevent you from making them and…
Today, things are different.
I learned my lessons, and have now published multiple works (some under a pen name ;)).
I have full control of my time and I get to write on a regular basis. It feels so AMAZING!
I actually have control over my works and I have an audience of readers ready to buy my books as soon as I release them. (So I get to make money from my writing too!)
Most importantly, I get to focus on and spend more time on my family. They’re what matters.
This is what I want for you!
Most writers don’t know what it really takes to write and publish a successful book - and they go about it the wrong way! They keep pushing themselves harder, never asking for help and then they either publish a flop, or they never reach the finish line.
They’re held back because they think:
“Readers won’t actually enjoy my story…”
“Maybe I just can’t be like those other successful authors out there…”
“I don’t even know where to start when it comes to publishing or even marketing my book…”
But guess what. This is NOT you – not anymore.
Don’t keep wasting your time hoping to get there eventually until years have gone by – like they did for me! That’s why I built

"I left with the tools I need to take my writing career to the next level. I recommend Katelyn to everyone, and again, strongly suggest every writer, at any level, book a call."
Vinita Temmert
Personal Transformation Coach
"Don’t think, just book!! Despite a busy corporate career, I’ve felt the urge to write a book for years. From the outside, it seemed like an easy enough process. I opened a word document and started typing. Then stopped. Then started. Then felt blocked. The end. Until now.
I started working with Katelyn in order to gain clarity on how to actually plan and structure my writing project. The online format suits me really well as I can draw upon the materials whenever it fits into my schedule. Katelyn has been incredibly responsive to my questions and for the first time, I am actually making progress towards my dream.
I love the fact that Katelyn has successfully published several books of her own and has mastered the process. She knows the business end to end. Frankly, I wish I’d found her sooner! If you truly want to write that book of yours, I highly recommend Katelyn as your next step towards actually achieving your dream of becoming an author!”

*Curious about financing options? While I don't endorse or encourage debt, if paying in full is not your best option, think of a loan as leveraged money to help achieve your dream. Here are some great loan resources so you can choose your own terms that work best for you, such as length of term and monthly payment amounts (so you can choose an amount in your budget!), and afterward we can move forward in making your author dreams reality.
Don't let finances be the reason you don't achieve your dream.
Absolutely. The tools and techniques I teach are tried and true whether you’re writing self-help, memoir, fantasy, romance, or any other genre.
Will I need to invest additionally to the program?
Provided in the program will be professional edits, cover design, formatting, and the promotional package, however if you desire to promote your book further, you will need to invest in those individual promotions at your discretion
Will I still be able to do this later?
The best time is always right now. I want you to ask yourself if you believe you'll be able to accomplish this dream on your own in the next 6 months? Especially if this has been a long-time dream that keeps getting put off for whatever reason, is this going to be something you get to someday? Or are you going to take massive action, invest in yourself and your future, and get results?
Why stumble and struggle when you can invest in someone who has achieved your desired goal and help you get there? Take action now and let's get your book in print!
What if I'm still struggling by the end of the 6 months (the time-frame in which we guide you in writing and publishing the book)?
The program is backed by our Publication Guarantee. I’m invested in your success, so if you’ve done the work, implemented all the steps and tools, and still haven’t seen the results, we’ll work with you to give you the support you need.
Is there a certain length I should strive for with my book?
Not at all. I believe that putting a specific word count or length limits the ideas and potential. Especially for the first draft, just let it flow to get the story out. Setting limits is what refining and edits are for!
Will I make back my investment?
When you put in the work and follow the system, you will absolutely start getting revenue back from book sales every month. Some clients have received their investment back very quickly once the book was published!
*This is not a guarantee of certain results as all results vary based on a variety of factors with each client
What if I have a crazy ever changing schedule or can’t be on a call?
Not a problem! I worked in the restaurant business for years – so I get it! Just communicate about your changing schedule and we'll plan something that works!
What if I have an urgent question needing immediate attention for me to stay on track?
We provide anytime support through the private Facebook group, messages, or email to get your immediate questions answered. (Response typically within 24 hours or less).
Don't see your question listed?
Book a complimentary chat to get answers and decide if this is the right fit for you to finally make your author dream reality now.
* Writing a book has been something on your list forever but hasn't happened yet
* You are determined to do whatever it takes to see your dreams become reality.
* You are sick and tired of feeling overwhelmed and stressed and never seeing your ideas become finished books!
* You are ready to make an impact and strongly desire having dedicated readers who love your work
* You want to go beyond the book and establish an author career or grow your business
You are not ready for this if:
* You feel hesitant about author-preneurship. This has to be an all in self-investment!
* You write here and there but it doesn’t drive you. You could go either way with writing.
* You can’t take criticism. As much as I will help you overcome doubts, fears, and critics, feedback is part of the process and will only help you to improve as a writer. If you can’t take it, you won’t become successful.
* You would not have any regrets if you don't accomplish your author dreams
You have two choices. Two roads diverged, in the words of Robert Frost.
You can keep trying to go it alone and push through yourself. You might reach the finish line in another 5-10 years, and still struggle to have a high-quality book, edited and polished that could do well or could flop. You might not know about publication, or make a ton of mistakes you’ll later regret.
Or,
You can skip all the headache and lost opportunities during that time and in just 6 months, you can be a successfully published author with a growing list of readers and fans, with the tools needed to successfully publish again and again to build the author life you are dreaming of.
Backed by our Publishing Guarantee
I'm 100% confident in your success and therefore, when you do the work, implement the steps, and truly throw in your absolute commitment, if you still haven't published, I promise to work alongside you with the support you need until we accomplish your book being published together.
