Hi, I am Malene!
Being an expert on whatever you teach, you know a book will
be the jewel in your book-empowered teaching or speaking
empire. You are completely aware that the potential profits
from a book go way beyond book sales. You know a book
will be the single most important asset you’ll ever create
for your business. You also know that you can write a great
book and audaciously promote it without blushing.
This condensed, visually appealing, no-fluff, non-boring,
but opinionated book will help you:
• Write the right book for your business
• Get published faster and with less hassle
• Know the secrets of bestselling authors
I suspect you are a person who never runs out of ideas. If
you are like most of the thought leaders I’ve worked with
facilitating the birth of dozens of books, your biggest strug-
gle is to stick to one idea before moving on to the next.
There is a reason this particular idea of publishing a book
stuck with you. The time has come for you to pursue the
next level in your business adventure.
I am Malene, a writing and publishing coach, and a book
editor specialising in helping solopreneurs with a teaching
or public speaking business become nonfiction authors. I
am here to make you fall in love with your book.
Vamos!!
