Build consistent, sustainable writing momentum without forcing yourself
The Next Level Author Pathway
Established Authors
Write the Darn Book Coaching Pathway
Aspiring Authors
Writing a book — and building a sustainable author life — isn’t just a creative process.
It’s an emotional one.
That’s why I offer mindset-first coaching pathways, designed to support writers at different stages of their journey — grounded in my Write the Darn Book™ Method, a 12-step framework created to help writers move through fear, resistance, procrastination, perfectionism, and self-doubt with clarity and confidence.
Below, you’ll find the pathways available for Aspiring Authors and Established Authors — each designed to meet you where you are, and support real, lasting transformation.
Let's Work Together
💗 A NOTE ON FIT & AVAILABILITY
Because of the depth of this work, I take on a limited number of clients at a time.
Every coaching relationship is fit-first, and we’ll explore that together — gently and honestly.
Finish writing the book you’re meant to write — with clarity and support
Deepen confidence, creative flow, and long-term sustainability
HOW COACHING WORKS
We explore where you’re currently stuck, what you’re working toward, and whether coaching together feels aligned.
You’ll be guided into the level of support that best fits your goals, nervous system, and season of writing.
Each session blends mindset work, emotional regulation, intuitive alignment, and practical writing support — so progress feels grounded, safe, and sustainable.

three session coaching package
This experience is for you if you feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck at the starting line — unsure what book you’re meant to write, or paralysed by too many ideas, doubts, or fears.
Transformation Focus
This is a clarity and confidence reset.
Rather than pushing you to “just start writing,” we slow things down long enough to uncover why you’ve been stuck, what your story is truly asking of you, and what direction feels safe and aligned to move forward.
By the end of this experience, you will:
- Have clear direction on what book you’re writing and why it matters
- Understand the real blocks holding you back (without judgement)
- Feel emotionally safer approaching your writing
- Trust your instincts instead of second-guessing every idea
- Know exactly what your next steps are — and feel capable of taking them
This experience gives you clarity, confidence, and readiness — so starting no longer feels heavy or overwhelming.

This is a completion-focused identity shift.
We don’t just work on the manuscript — we work on becoming the kind of writer who can move through fear, self-doubt, and resistance without abandoning the work.

- Have written and finished (or be very close to finishing) your first book
- Know how to work through resistance instead of being derailed by it

Book a Clarity Call
You can share what you’ve been experiencing — writer’s block, procrastination, fear, perfectionism, avoidance, overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from your creativity — and I’ll explain how I support writers using my signature Write The Darn Book™ Method.
This call is not a coaching session — it’s a space to see whether one of my coaching pathways is the right next step.
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.”
Coaching Testimonials
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.”
Coaching Testimonials
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.”

Frequently Asked Questions
I offer two core coaching pathways:
• The Write the Darn Book Coaching Pathway — for aspiring authors ready to write and finish their first book
• The Next Level Author Pathway — for established authors ready to deepen confidence, creative flow, and long-term sustainability
Each pathway includes 3-, 6-, and 12-session coaching experiences, designed to support writers at different stages of their journey.
Our initial conversation is a warm, no-pressure space to talk about where you are in your writing journey, what kind of support you’re looking for, and whether working together feels aligned.
I take on a limited number of coaching clients at a time, so this conversation allows us both to decide — without pressure — whether moving forward together feels like the right next step.
- Writer’s block
- Fear of failure or judgment
- Procrastination
- Perfectionism
- Overwhelm + avoidance
- Identity struggles (“Am I really a writer?”)
- Resistance
- Emotional patterns that sabotage your writing
We’ll work at the root cause using tools from NLP, submodalities, identity work, parts work, emotional resilience, nervous system support, and guided visualization.
That said, our work is always in service of your writing.
I can absolutely support you with story direction, structure, and writing craft when that’s what you want to focus on — particularly around clarity, decision-making, and creative confidence.
What I don’t offer are manuscript edits, line-by-line feedback, or detailed editorial notes. My role is to help you trust your instincts, make aligned decisions, and move forward with confidence — not to act as an editor or reviewer.
If you’re looking for deep editorial feedback, I’m always happy to recommend that support separately, while continuing to guide you through the mindset and creative process that allows your best work to emerge.
This can be a powerful standalone session, or a first step before committing to a longer coaching pathway.
Each coaching experience is designed as a transformational journey, not a quick fix, with space for reflection, integration, and forward momentum.
Mindset work is deeply personal and requires emotional safety, trust, compatibility, and honest communication. Which is why I only take on clients when I know I can fully support them.
Our clarity call is a chance for both of us to explore whether a coaching relationship feels aligned. If it does, fantastic, we can book in some sessions — and if not, I’ll gently guide you toward what I believe will serve you best for your author journey.
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.
