Lainey Cameron is an author of women’s fiction and recovering tech industry executive. Her award-winning novel, The Exit Strategy, was inspired by a decade of being the only woman in the corporate boardroom.

The Exit Strategy won fifteen book awards and became an Amazon #1 bestseller in feminist books. Her second novel is planned for release in 2026.

When she’s not writing, Lainey teaches book marketing to authors on her podcast, The Best of Book Marketing, and her frequently sold-out group program, 12 Weeks to Book Launch Success.

A digital nomad for a decade, she recently settled full-time in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico.

She’s originally from Scotland, and has a soft spot for donkeys, kilts, good single malt, and rooftop bars.

“It occurred to me that falling in love was like jumping off a cliff. You know it’s gonna hurt like hell, but you do it anyway, hoping you’ll sprout wings and fly. I was still waiting to see if I would plunge to an agonizing death or grow wings and soar.”
Densie Webb, You'll Be Thinking of Me
