I AM GUESSING SOMEONE HAS REFERRED YOU TO ME….. WELCOME TO MY SECRET SIDE QUEST…

Write Your Book In A Week…?
Hell Yeah!

One week. Your location. Your book. My Brain. Done.

The Proven In-Person Author Sprint That Gets Your Expertise Out Of Your Head And Into 40,000 Words

Here’s The Uncomfortable Truth

You’ve been “planning to write a book” for how long now?

Six months? Two years? A decade?

Meanwhile, you’re:

  • Watching less-qualified people publish and steal your positioning
  • Losing premium clients who buy from “authors” not “experts who plan to write”
  • Wasting weekends squeezing out 500 painful words that sound terrible
  • Telling yourself “I just need to find the time”

B*ll*cks. You don’t need more time.
You need a better process.

The Real Problem Isn’t Time

Sounds like BS, right? But let’s do the maths:

A 40,000-word book is essentially a written-down one-day workshop.

  • Speak at 100 words per minute for an hour = 6,000 words
    7.5 hours of teaching = 7.5 x 6,000 = 45,000 words
  • If we do 3 hours a day dictation, and only 2 hours are usable, that’s:
    100 × 60 × 2 = 12,000 words per day
  • Over 4 days using only a THIRD of the time available, that’s:
    12,000 × 4 = 48,000 words
    That’s actually more than one full 40,000-word book!

    So there’s plenty of time to make sure it doesn’t suck.

You don’t have a knowledge or skills problem. You have an extraction problem.

The Book In A Week Sprint

I come to you. 5 days. 8am-8pm. We get it done.

Day 1: Strategic Planning

We extract everything rattling around in your head and organize it into:

  • Your signature frameworks
  • Chapter structure that flows
  • The stories only you can tell
  • Your contrarian positioning
  • What stays, what goes, what moves

By end of day one: Complete book architecture. You know exactly what you’re creating.

Phase 1: Setup

We set up your dictation and editing systems so you can:

  • Speak naturally and it captures everything
  • Refine as you go without friction
  • See progress in real-time
  • Work at the speed of thought, not typing

Phase 2: Creation Sprint

You dictate. I facilitate.

  • 3.5 days of focused creation time
  • I handle all the technical facilitation
  • You focus purely on getting your expertise out
  • We refine sections as we go
  • No “I’ll fix it later” – we fix it now

Overnight: The Banking Process

While you sleep, I “bank” everything we’ve created:

  • Format what we’ve captured
  • Organise the content
  • Prep the next day’s work
  • You start fresh each morning with yesterday’s work polished

By Friday 8pm: First Complete Draft

Rough formatted. Full manuscript. 30,000-45,000 words.

Your book exists.

WARNING: This service is invite only.

If I know this isn’t right for you I’ll tell you. This is a close collaboration. After a quick assessment of your knowledge of your skills and communication style, I will let you know if I can help. I won’t be dragging your project across the finishing line.

This needs to be fast, fun and create a fabulous result!

What Makes This Work

I Come To You

Your office. Your home. A virtual office you hire. Wherever you work best.

No travel time stealing your energy. No unfamiliar environments. You work where you’re most effective.

Intense But Doable

Yes, 8am-8pm is long. But there are breaks.

And here’s the thing: Would you rather have 5 intense days or 6 months of painful weekends?

The Maths Actually Work

  • Popular business books: 30,000-40,000 words
  • You speak at 80-100 words per minute
  • 7.5 hours at 100wpm = 45,000 words (a one-day workshop)
  • We have 5x that amount of time

It’s not just doable. It’s inevitable. If you do it with me.

Not A Template. Not A Formula.

This is YOUR book, delivered the way YOU teach.

I’m not imposing a structure. I’m extracting your brains.

Who This Is For

✅ PERFECT FIT IF YOU’RE ROLLING LIKE THIS…

  • 10+ years of expertise you need to get out of your head
  • You can speak clearly about your work but writing feels like pulling teeth
  • Sick of “I’ll write it someday” sitting on your goal list for years
  • Ready to invest 5 days of intense focus to get it done
  • Want a facilitator who won’t let you quit when it gets hard
  • People with a following, not someone looking to pivot or break into a new industry

❌ DEFO NOT FOR YOU IF YOU…

  • Want someone to write it for you while you do nothing (hire a ghostwriter)
  • Can’t commit to full immersion over 5 full days in one week (you need a different approach)
  • Looking for the cheapest option (this isn’t that)
  • Need hand-holding after the sprint if you feel anxious (separate support available for that)
  • Not actually ready to have the book exist (be honest with yourself, there’s no point writing it if you;re not going to talk about it.)

Why This Actually Works

Most people fail to write their book because:

  1. They try to do it alone – No accountability, no structure, endless delays
  2. They try to do it slowly – Momentum dies, priorities shift, never finishes
  3. They try to write it – Fighting against how they naturally communicate

This works because:

  1. You’re not alone – I’m there facilitating, keeping momentum, solving problems
  2. It’s fast enough to maintain momentum – 5 days of focus beats 6 months of “someday”
  3. You speak it, not write it – Work with your strengths, not against them

Plus: I don’t let you quit when it gets hard.

That’s worth the investment right there.

FAQs

“I’m not a good speaker. Will this work?”

You speak clearly about your work to clients every day. That’s all this requires.

We’re not recording a TED talk. We’re capturing your expertise the way you naturally explain it.

“What if I don’t finish in 5 days?”

The structure is designed so you DO finish. But if life happens, we book follow-up days.

However: 100% of my clients complete the work. My intensive structure prevents the procrastination that kills book projects.

“Can I see examples of books created this way?”

Yes. During your strategy call, I’ll share relevant examples based on your industry and style.

“What’s included in the overnight ‘banking’?”

I take everything we captured that day, format it, organize it, and prep the next day’s work.

You start fresh each morning with yesterday’s progress polished and ready.

“Why 8am-8pm? That’s intense.”

Because half-days don’t maintain momentum. You need sustained focus to get into flow state.

Think of it as a workshop you’re delivering to yourself. Would you run a one-day workshop in 3-hour chunks over two weeks? No. Same principle.

“What if I need help after the week?”

Ad hoc days available for refinement work. Hourly calls available if you’re working with an editor. Full production package available (formatting, cover, launch).

“Do you travel internationally?”

Depends on location and project scope. Let’s discuss on your strategy call.

Here’s What Actually Happens If You Don’t Do This

The 6-Month Slog:

  • You squeeze writing into weekends
  • Every session starts with “where was I?”
  • Momentum dies after Week 3
  • Six months later: 8,000 unusable words and crushing guilt

The Expensive Ghostwriter:

  • £8k-£15k for someone who doesn’t know your business
  • 6 months of interviews and revisions
  • Final product sounds 70% like you at best
  • You spend months “fixing” what they wrote

The “Someday” Trap:

  • Book stays on your goal list for years
  • Competition publishes while you “plan”
  • Clients choose authors over experts
  • Premium positioning stays out of reach

Or This:

  • One week
  • Your expertise extracted
  • 40,000 words that sound exactly like you
  • Book exists by next Friday

Your move.

About Colette Mason

I’m not a book coach. I’m not a writing guru. I’m not a motivational speaker.

I’m a systems developer with 42 years of enterprise experience.

I’ve built mission-critical systems for:

  • Investment banks
  • Met Police
  • UK Government
  • London Underground
  • National newspapers

What does that have to do with your book?

Because getting a book out of your head is an extraction and systems problem, not a writing problem.

I know how to:

  • Extract expertise from busy professionals
  • Structure information that makes sense
  • Build processes that work under pressure
  • Keep momentum when things get hard

Plus: I don’t let you quit.

After 42 years building systems where failure wasn’t an option, I know how to get things finished.

The Reality Check

This isn’t for everyone.

If you want:

  • Someone to write it while you do nothing → Hire a ghostwriter
  • A gentle, no-pressure process → This isn’t that
  • To “think about it” for another six months → Don’t waste my time

But if you:

  • Have expertise that needs to get out of your head
  • Are sick of watching less-qualified people publish
  • Want your book to exist by next week, not “someday”
  • Are ready to do 5 intense days to make it happen

Then let’s talk.

One More Thing

Every month you wait:

Lost authority positioning: £5,000-£20,000 in missed premium pricing opportunities

Wasted time: 40+ hours trying to write it yourself in stolen weekend chunks

Opportunity cost: Clients buying from published authors instead of you

Sanity cost: Immeasurable

Or:

One week. £9997. Done.

The maths are pretty clear.
