What You Need to Know Before You Write a Book

It’s easier than ever to publish your own book…but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Way too many aspiring authors charge down this path without understanding what lies ahead, and they end up getting lost, giving up, and going home disappointed.

It’s not that they’re not capable of creating a powerful book. They just aren’t prepared—they don’t know what they don’t know.

Screw that. I want you to succeed, so here are my top tips, tricks, and busted myths from the ghostwriting trenches. With this knowledge, you're already miles ahead of the typical wannabe-writer. You're welcome!

    Truly blown away.

    Madison helped me do something I could never do on my own — write a book. She was able to absorb very complex and nuanced concepts and articulate them in a clear and concise way. I was truly blown away by the final product. Madison definitely gets a 5 star rating. She is positive, professional and made this process truly enjoyable. I have already engaged her for my next book and I honestly believe there is not any topic she cannot handle.

    In a word, amazing.

    I have worked with several ghost writers and Madison is head and shoulders above all the others. Her sharp intellect allows her to truly understand complex material incredibly quickly, so you’ll never have to explain an idea more than once.  In fact, she will quickly be adding value to your ideas, not just by making them flow more clearly on the page, but sharpening them and helping shape them for your audience. She is efficient and well organized.  And she’s a delight to work with – she’s quick to share her ideas but never forces them, and is super flexible in the way she works. In a word, amazing.

    I am working through the first draft of my book and keep saying to myself “Wow, Madison is a rockstar!” I am grateful for her gifts and hard-earned ability to channel the thoughts in my “too technical” brain.
