The old  adage “You meet your friends along the trail” is more than true. I met Madeleine completely by chance after completing the first draft of this book. As my patient and more than competent editor, her wise advice on organization and style turned this into a publishable manuscript and made me a much better writer.  Eventually we did walk the same trails on Tutuk Creek together.  Madeleine is a true gem and is not scared of bears.

Before I decided to work with Madeleine, I read all of the reviews on her website. I saw she held a high standard for the people she worked with and that is what I was looking for. I wanted to be pushed without cutting any corners in my work.

I can confidently say Madeleine would make any level of writer better. She takes the time to do her homework on who she is working with and takes a tailored approach. The result of our work together? Night and day! Massive improvement.

I have since worked with Madeleine on three more books because she continues to go above and beyond what I expect. She gives me editorial comments that allow me to explore parts of my work that I think are good, and gives me insight into making them great. I know now I won’t work with anyone else on my books.

How fantastic and amazing was my Book Mapping day yesterday!

First of all, I am so in awe of your attention to detail and delightful surprises in terms of the structure of the day! And it was so fascinating and validating how you delivered the framework of HD and gene keys that apply to my writing and my book idea and structure. Sometimes all that can be so dense to understand.  The way you presented it was revelatory! I got huge insights about my theme, my readers and how to talk to them.

I feel so good about the work we did to synthesize and get clarity on the trajectory of my book. I am singing your Projector praises and telling everyone I know about you

​

Thank you for believing in me, my book, and being my cheerleader. I have wanted to write this book for years and you have given me the container and guidance that has allowed it to really flow and come through with ease.

I called on Madeleine to help me wrap up a project I had been dreaming of working on for years. Although the book that ultimately got published was not the book I had originally thought it would be, it was the book that needed to be written and the story that needed to be told.

After we had our Book Mapping day, Madeleine kept me focused and, with an aggressive deadline and demand for writing, we hit every scheduled benchmark with clarity and a detailed plan of where to go next.

Madeleine has an artful way of pulling from you what needs to be shared and doesn’t hold back what needs to be cut to keep the message as clear and strong as it can be. And I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Wholly Sober was awarded “Best New Release” on Amazon, and on a regular basis I receive messages stating, “Once I started reading your book, I couldn’t put it down.” Words a new author hopes to hear! If you’re looking for someone to help you stay on course and be your best, I highly recommend Madeleine. And to let you know how much I trust her work—she’s currently editing my second book!

Thank you for our work together. You have helped me see beyond myself, identified and validated my gifting, and unlocked the huge creative expanse sitting within me. I could not have done this without you—I am forever grateful for you and consider you part of my forever family.

The sessions with you are a life raft.

I am so glad I decided to work with Madeleine. Writing a book is a huge undertaking! She is the perfect book coach and editor for me because she’s part cheerleader. She encouraged me so much and my book would not be here if it wasn’t for her. We did a Book Mapping session first and then Madeleine supported me as I completed my first book. I can’t imagine a better person to have on my side and I will be working with her (very soon!) on my second book!

There is no way I could have completed my book with the help of Madeleine, the most wonderful editor on the planet! I loved our Book Mapping session where we spent the day plotting out exactly what I was trying to say. Having that helped so much. She then held my hand as I worked through each chapter—and I finished. I wrote a book that I had wanted to write for YEARS. She totally understood me and what I was trying to share and she was able to clarify concepts and stories that didn’t always come out the way I wanted to express them. I highly recommend her work to anyone ready to bring their book to the world.

The book was birthing itself in the most challenging and uprooting time of my life, and I knew I would require a birthing coach. I am not a writer, but I have something to say! But who? Suddenly Madeleine appeared and showed up as a magical scribe and ghostwriter who listened as I spoke at classes, events and during lots of sessions on the phone. She asked just the right questions and with so much ease drew from me all the content for my book. She effortlessly co-created with me and my authentic voice appeared on the page with the clarity, energy and intent it was given. What a gift to the world, and to me, Madeleine is.

After sending a few of my clients to Madeleine and watching them get such great results with their books, I knew I wanted to work with her on my memoir. I am writing about a sensitive topic and knew this would not go well with the wrong person. It has been an amazing experience. I have become a much better writer and so appreciate two things in particular about Madeleine: that she pushes me to go deeper into my truth and my meaning and that she creates such an incredibly safe and loving container for my difficult-to-tell story. There are some places I have not gone in decades, and with Madeleine’s guidance, I was able to go in and both tell the story and find the greater meaning. I highly recommend Madeleine as an editor, book coach and Book Mapping Guide—especially for anyone telling a sensitive or difficult story.

I can’t tell you how excited I was after our Golden Thread session. It was amazing how you stimulated me to vocalize feelings that I simply couldn’t put into words before. I felt so safe sharing my story with you and appreciated your thoughtful questions. I had several epiphanies that had been buried for a long, long time. You are incredible and you’re one of the main reasons I have a vision and mission for my business today! I am so excited for what lies ahead.

Only then will you know why I am one of many enthusiastic attendees and wouldn’t miss one of her classes. Madeleine is fun and inspiring. Her teaching and coaching has helped me develop confidence and trust in my own writing.

I finally got over the resistance I was feeling with telling my story. I used the guidance Madeleine gave me and I decided the way I wanted to express it was through a Facebook Live. It’s been my most popular Facebook Live so far. I’ve gotten a ton of great feedback already. I took the scene she recommended and made that an anchor for my words.  

I recently went back to my Golden Thread document to hone in on what to say on stage when I had 10 minutes to speak and need to make an impact. I rocked that speech! And I just loved that session! What a beautiful, valuable experience. To have Madeleine sense what parts of my story needed to be told was SO valuable. For years, I have had such a hard time writing because I had so many twists and turns to my story. And now I love it my story and it makes so much sense to my ideal clients.

Madeleine has the sweetest, smartest, most soothing way of guiding you to answer questions. The Find Your Golden Thread session has been a fantastic investment for my business.

After the session I immediately knew that I wanted Madeleine to write all the other pages for my website. It was so valuable to have another person’s perspective for my business. I pared down my offerings and got crystal clear on what I needed to do to make the website work for my business. It was so liberating!

Madeleine is very insightful and working with her is a complete delight! The Golden Thread interview provides a deeper inspection into your life and your business. It’s so much more in-depth than what other copywriters offer. Madeleine’s work is spot on. She got me and what I offer so clearly and I love the copy on my site. Others do, too. It has been very valuable for my business. I highly recommend working with Madeleine—and I have recommended her to some of my clients, as well!

I sent out my very first newsletter yesterday… all thanks to YOU! I am so proud! After presenting that successful speech the other night, I am grateful to be working with you. Madeleine, really, you have helped me so much. Much more than simply helping me with my words. You have helped me know who I am and embrace that. You asked me questions that I had NEVER thought of before. AND made me answer them! I have read my transcript over and over again for inspiration. Thank you for all!
