Hi, I’m Madi.

My mission is to help authors construct new worlds grounded in reality or conjured from imagination. I value lighthearted reads as much as those that present a grander purpose, and I aim to represent authors who capture the human experience through love and adventure.

I’m an agent who gets to know her clients professionally and personally to support our working relationship and each author’s intent behind their books. I’m happy to be a sounding board as much as an advisor, and authors should feel comfortable tossing out every clever or outlandish idea they devise.

My Approach

Representation

I believe an agent-author relationship is fundamental to success. To ensure we’re the right fit, I want to know why you wrote your book, how you envision success, and the dynamic you hope to have with your agent.

Editorial Style

I take a thorough approach when working on your manuscript. While the final outcome is derived from your creativity, expect to brainstorm, potentially work on the plot, and have a running draft littered with tracked changes.

Reviews 〰️

"I would have quit writing and given up on each of my little fictional universes 50 times already if it wasn't for the faith and encouragement of Madison. She is a reader first, and truly seems to fall in love with the wacky characters and worlds imagined by authors. That passion translates in her dedication to helping launch those untold stories. She is a tireless advocate for the work, pouring herself into tweaking and analyzing the text at all hours of the day and night over and over again until the story is truly ready for submission. The author/agent relationship can be transactional and hollow when handled with less care, but every step of the way, I felt like Madison and I were launching my work as a team, white-knuckling the publishing rollercoaster and its dizzying twists and turns with humor and friendship. I never stared at my inbox waiting for a reply. Madison prioritized my needs and urged me on when I tried to bail on my own potential."

"I’ve never had a less than exemplary experience working with Madison. Ever. She’s persevering, warmhearted, and ruthlessly in my corner. She’s my dream agent."
