I am writer Tamara Forrest-Smith.

I am a writer, ghostwriter, publisher and literary manager with over 16 years' experience helping bring books to life. During that time I've worked with first-time authors, ghostwritten books, published carefully selected titles, and seen ideas grow from a single conversation into finished books.

My debut book, Diary of the Writer's Wife, is supported by Arts Council England and will be published in 2026. It sits at the heart of my creative practice, bringing together literary craft with real-world publishing experience.

I also founded the not-for-profit Alan Forrest Smith Literary Foundation, supporting the ongoing development of literary work through publishing, theatre and other creative projects. I like to be involved in every stage of bringing a book to life, from the first idea through to writing, editing, publishing, marketing and selling. I've seen first-hand where a single idea can lead, taking one poem all the way to a fully staged live theatre production. That experience shapes the way I mentor, giving you practical guidance on how to write your book, publish it, market it and build a readership around it.

Your Author Mentor Programme Is Built Around YOU

No two authors are the same, and no two books follow the same journey. That's why every Author Mentor programme is tailored to where you are today.

Whether you're searching for your Big Idea, struggling with structure, halfway through a manuscript, or preparing your final draft for publication, your mentoring programme is designed around your individual goals, your book and your pace.

My goal through Author Mentor is simple: 

to help you finally get the book out of your head and into a finished manuscript

Over 30 published books later, Here’s what I discovered:

• AGENTS: I learned you can spend forever trying to find an agent. Many are not simply interested. Many excellent books are published without one. I'll help you understand your options and choose the publishing route that's right for you.

• PUBLISH YOUR BOOK NOW: I learned there is no single route to publication. Traditional publishing, self-publishing and hybrid publishing all have their place. The key is choosing the route that best suits your book, your goals and your timescale.

• WRITE YOUR BOOK FIRST: I learned it's easy to spend months thinking about publishing before you've written a single chapter. Finish the book first. Every publishing opportunity starts with a manuscript.

• SELL YOUR BOOK on Amazon and other channels: I learned not to spend forever trying to drive traffic to a brand-new website before selling a single book. Start by putting your book where readers already are, then build from there.

• OR SELL YOUR BOOK WITHOUT AMAZON: I learned you can build a great career as a writer selling your own books without giving your share of profit to Amazon if this model works best for you.

• SELF-PUBLISHING: I learned you can become your own publisher and your own agent without compromising the quality of your book.

• YOUR BOOK HAS A LIFE BEYOND PUBLICATION: I learned that publishing isn't the finish line. A book can lead to speaking opportunities, workshops, theatre, film, new business, media coverage and opportunities you never expected.

• THE WRITING PROCESS: I learned there is no single way to write a book. Every writer develops a process that works for them. Together we'll find yours.

• YOU THE NEW AUTHOR: I learned becoming an author doesn't depend on having written all your life. It begins when you decide to write your first book.

• HOW TO WRITE: I learned that writing a book takes time, but you have to steal back time to write that book.

• IDEA TO BOOK: I could actually take an idea from my head, write it down and then create a book from that. I also learned the distance between an idea and a published book is much shorter when someone shows you the way.

My big lesson was that anyone can …

Become A Published Author Despite Having No Previous Experience

Become A Published Author Despite Having No Previous Experience

And …

Your Book Can and Will Change Readers’ Lives… Once You Finally Get It Out and On The Shelves

How long have you been saying to yourself you need to get your book out, onto paper, printed, and shared with the world?

You probably think about your book every day. You promise yourself you will write your book. You know, once you share what you know, it can literally change others' lives, experiences, or businesses.

Yet …

Your book is still a thought, maybe a handful of notes and nothing more.

Then again, you might have given writing your book a try. And you know that moment when you sit down at your computer and ask yourself, ‘What do I write?’ Then you finally write something, you share it with others and ask for their opinion.

After they share their opinion with you on what you’ve written, you feel crushed. You’ve lost all the confidence you had to write your book.

And of course, your job takes all of your time. Your kids take all of your time. Your hobbies take up all of your time.

Everything takes all of your time.

Another week passes. Another month passes. Another year passes. And now, if you’re honest, maybe 10, 15, 20, or even longer years have passed, and you still haven’t written your book.

But you know what the really sad part about not writing your book truly is?

Your book really could change a reader’s life for the better.

I know this firsthand. I managed my late husband’s writing career, and for years—and even since his passing—I’ve continued to receive emails and messages from readers telling me how Alan’s books changed their lives.

As a ghostwriter, I see it from another side: the moment someone reads their story and says, “That sounds like me.”

As a writer, that’s what makes the work worthwhile.

But none of that can happen while your book is still sitting in your head.

Are You Finally Ready To Become An Author and Get Your Book Out?

As a published author, you want to see your book in print

and selling online or on a shelf?

Writing a book can be easy when you know how. It can be

easier and faster when you know how.

Being a writer can change everything for you. It can change your life, change how others see you, change your perception, change the way you think and put you onto a whole new life level that others will admire. It can also even change how you earn your income.

I can help you become a published author fast, get organised, get started, structure and format, pull the cover together, and so much more and even get your book published so you are appearing on Amazon and most good online retailers just like millions of other published authors.

Get Your Book Out Now

With Author, Writer, and Mentor Tamara.

I am now a full-time writer and publisher. I am also a producer, taking original writing from the page to full-scale live theatre and literary festivals, but I understand how difficult it can be to write a book and step into life as a published author — because I’ve made that transition myself. I spent years working behind the scenes, managing my late husband’s writing career while writing, editing and developing my own work. English is not my native language either. And yet, here I am today, making my living as a writer.

That doesn’t mean it was easy. Getting books written, published, and into print — in two very different roles — required persistence and a deep understanding of the realities authors face. At times it was very hard, but it was worth every ounce of effort.

WARNING: Online, There Are Tons of so-called writers' mentors teaching people like you how to become authors… without having much real-world experience of writing, publishing or selling books themselves!

• There are stacks of book marketing experts wanting to give you cheap or free advice that has never once marketed a book.

• There are tons of author coaches who don’t write, have never written and even hire content writers to make it look as though they write.

• There are many, many, many online ‘experts’ who have never been through years of the authoring process, willing to offer advice on the authoring process.

And worse of all – the writing process is so vague that if you have no idea of how to go from A-Z from idea to publishing it can be a very expensive process, to say the least. Before you invest your time and money, take a look at who's actually mentoring you.

Have they written?

Have they published?

Have they worked with real authors?

Have they taken books from idea to finished manuscript and publication?

Have they actually sold books?

Those questions matter.
