You want to publish a book that can take you to the next level where you are recognised as a definitive voice in your field, allowing you to enjoy more freedom, work with only the most exciting customers, and expand and explore new business avenues.
But translating your expertise into a compelling narrative and create a book that is worthy of your brand (and navigating the publishing world) just raises so many questions that you keep postponing the project. On top of that you are just too busy.

Malene brilliantly worked out the positioning of my book digging deep into market data. We went back and reworked the manuscript to fit what readers were actually looking for!
Having a coach who understands business and leadership has been invaluable. Malene is a genius when it comes to getting clarity on the concept and creating flow throughout the book!
Writing a book is challenging when you are already busy. Malene kept me on track, driving me forwards all the way. She also made it fun! The impact of being an author is already showing!
We wanted our book to enhance learning during our workshops and that is exactly what Malene helped us create. Providing a book to the participants builds immediate trust. Thank you!
I struggled to find the right angle but Malene helped me nail it and kept challenging me to go deeper on why people should learn to draw. Students in my online courses love the book!
I've published two books and am now translating them. Becoming an author has had a profound impact on my business. I get more requests for talks and keynotes than I can say yes to!
Malene has helped me publish three books which opened the doors to major international publishers, more talks and keynotes, and many other exciting opportunities.
We were surprised to learn that proper planning of the content is far more important than the actual writing. We went from idea to proof read manuscript in 21 days and reached bestseller status in just over 3 months!
Malene only works with the best people and I realised early on that she was already visualising my book and helped me adapt the manuscript so the book would also turn out beautiful and on-brand. I love it!
Start with just an idea, an outline or a halfwritten script
Daily individual coaching and feedback
Lots of writing time and zero social obligations!
Work from your room, the rooftop terrasse or the beach
Almost everything in Nerja can be reach during the lunch break. Eat in one of the cozy restaurants or visit the church at the Plaza where you'll also find icecream stands, coffee shops and some of the many beaches. Have a cup of coffee at Balcon Europa.
Start your morning with a dip in the bright blue ocean before starting your book-writing day. Visit the Nerja Caves or book a magnificent sea experience in a see-through canoe from Maro or Burriana beach visiting the waterfall.
Where we'll stay
We are staying at the cozy, family-owned Hostal Boutique Plaza Cantarero, 5 minutes from Burriana Beach and just a short walk from Balcon Europa.
You'll get a private room and bathroom, wifi, safety box, air-conditioning, hairdryer, iron, coffee, tea, and a small desk. The rooms are not big but they are beautiful. We spend a lot of the time at the fantastic rooftop terrasse with a mountain view and multiple sitting areas.
There is a breakfast bar right outside at the small plaza. They will deliver to your room if you ask for it. But you'll want to feel Nerja ;)

The price includes accommodation and individual coaching (one 60-minute session per night). One or more sessions can be exchanged for editing/feedback on your manuscript when you need that more.
Meals are not included because participants usually want to choose their own routine and explore Spanish cuisine.
You will also book your own flight. I will arrange for a taxi from the airport to make sure you arrive safely with no inconvenience. The taxi is about 80 EUR. There is also a bus from Malaga train station that stops less than a 5 min walk from the hotel. The bus is currently 8 EUR.

If you have absolute clarity about your business and your book idea, you can have most of your script ready for final editing in 5-8 days! This is the result many of the participants had.
How is this possible??
Because we use smarter writing methods and know how to avoid writer's block.
Participants in the book camp have access to purchasing a few individual coaching sessions before arriving if they need help scoping the book and get ready to write.
Yes. And we'll make sure you arrive with the best plan to get shit done!
Sure. You can get feedback on your manuscripts and help for the next steps with design and publication. You an also work on your marketing plan and create content for your campaigns.
Yes. There is ALWAYS more to do in terms of book marketing. And you are also welcome to work on a course or whatever you want to sell with your book. The coaching is of cause limited to what I am an expert at.
As long as there are rooms available, you can choose how many days you want to stay. Coaching is limited to 8 days. There is one coaching session included per night.
Your registration is committed. This is not a vacation - you are buying but access to consultancy for a specific number of days. There are no guarantees. Danish customers should know this is not covered by Rejsegarantifonden because there are only non-tourist services included.
You will book one hour of book coaching per night. When you arrive and when you start working is up to you. We'll talk about your strategy before you arrive.
No there is no class teaching. This is a book writing camp with individual coaching. The main part of the time is for being productive and getting a lot of writing done. You'll get all the knowledge you need.
You will book your daily hour between 9 am and 5 pm. You can choose to skip a coaching session and ask me to spend the time reading your material in detail before your next session.
Even if it definitely is very good company and always fun to be around other passionate authors, this is not a group process and you can be as social as you want or not want to. I will be available for dinner most days but there is nothing wrong in choosing to do your own thing. There are always some (actually most) who choose that.
You can choose to skip a coaching session and ask me to work on your book instead. There is no editing between sessions. My brain explodes if I don't give it a break 🤯 If you already paid for editorial services, we'll discuss how to best progress.
