If you’ve been stuck — blocked, overwhelmed, procrastinating, doubting yourself, avoiding your manuscript, or spiralling in perfectionism — there is nothing wrong with you.
You’re not “lazy.”
You’re not “undisciplined.”
You’re not “behind.”
You are experiencing emotional and mindset patterns that can be shifted.
And this is where my work comes in.
Break the blocks. Rewire the patterns.
Become the writer you’re meant to be.

Write the Darn Book?
I’m Maddison Michaels — an award-winning author, certified Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, and creator of my signature Write The Darn Book™ Method, a mindset-first transformation framework designed specifically for writers who struggle with fear, resistance, procrastination, and self-doubt.
This work isn’t about writing craft.
It’s not about productivity hacks.
It’s not about forcing yourself into discipline or willpower.
It’s about who you become on the inside, so the writing can finally flow on the outside.
I help WRITERS find their way back to the page
It's time to make a change...
This is what becomes possible when you shift the inner patterns that shape your writing, with writing coaching
Imagine if you could...
Release perfectionism, fear, and procrastination without forcing yourself or burning out. Understand that you can let go of controlling the story.
Sit down to write without dread, pressure, or spiralling self-doubt — and actually feel safe in your creativity and open to the flow of your story.
Finish your book from a place of flow, self-trust, and inner steadiness — not pressure, panic, or exhaustion.
Trust yourself as a writer again, knowing that resistance isn’t a flaw… it’s information you know how to work with.
Feel deeply connected to your story — clear on its direction, confident in your voice, and aligned with why this book matters.
Stop starting over, second-guessing, or waiting for the “right time” — and finally build consistent, sustainable writing momentum.
COACHING
Ongoing
INTENSIVE
One-on-One
I offer mindset-first coaching for writers using my signature Write The Darn Book™ Method — a 12-step transformation framework I personally created to help writers break through fear, procrastination, resistance, perfectionism, and self-doubt, to confidently finish writing the book!
let's work together
I also want to be really transparent with you — I keep my coaching spots intentionally limited. Because I’m balancing my own writing schedule, supporting my current clients, and honouring the energy that deep mindset work requires, I only take on a small number of writers at any given time. And I don’t say yes to everyone.
This isn’t about exclusivity — it’s about ensuring that the coaching relationship feels safe, aligned, and genuinely supportive for both of us. Mindset work is intimate. It requires trust, honesty, and a connection that feels good. During your discovery call, I’ll get a sense of whether I’m the right coach for you, and whether I can truly support your needs. If we’re a great fit, beautiful — I’d be honoured to walk this journey with you. And if not, I’ll always be honest and guide you toward what I believe will support you best.

This is not writing craft coaching.
It’s emotional, mental, and identity-level transformation that supports you to finally write with clarity, confidence, and flow.
Because mindset work is deeply personal and requires emotional safety, trust, compatibility, and honest communication, I only take on clients when I know I can fully support them.
Our discovery call is a chance for both of us to explore whether the relationship feels aligned. If it does, beautiful — and if not, I’ll gently guide you toward what I believe will serve you best.

VICKI A - FIRST TIME AUTHOR
After years of stopping and starting, I FINISHED WRITING the draft I never thought I would!
I finally finished my first book
“I had been ‘working on’ my first novel for years. I’d start, stop, panic, rewrite, and then avoid it altogether. Working with Maddison was the turning point. She helped me understand what was really holding me back and showed me how to move through it — gently, without shame. For the first time, I trusted myself enough to keep going. I finished my first draft, something I honestly never thought I’d say.”
Teresa F - Author
From creative exhaustion to clarity, confidence, and sustainable flow.
I found a calmer way of writing...
“I came to Maddison having written my first book, but I was completely stuck writing my second — I was exhausted and doubting whether I still had it in me. What she offered wasn’t just writing advice; it was a complete reconnection to why I write in the first place. Her ability to blend deep mindset work with practical guidance is extraordinary. I didn’t just get my momentum back — I found a calmer, more sustainable way of writing that has changed how I approach every book.”
Mary-Beth C - aspiring author
working with maddison, I gained the confidence, permission, and the courage to begin!
Maddison is the best coach
“Before working with Maddison, I didn’t even know if I was ‘allowed’ to call myself a writer. I had so much self-doubt that I couldn’t get past the idea stage. Maddison helped me quiet the noise, reconnect with the story I wanted to tell, and believe that my voice mattered. Her coaching gave me permission to start — and the confidence to keep showing up to the page. I’m writing now, consistently, and for the first time it feels possible.”
