Don’t take my word for it…

“Kelly’s like a Swiss Army knife when it comes to the kind of writing she can do.”
- Ben Teitelbaum, senior producer, Calm

“Kelly consistently delivers top-quality, powerful writing that’s well-researched
and reported. She’s responsive to edits, files her work on time,
and is overall a delight to work with.” 
- M. Carrie Allan, senior vice president of communications and brand,
Humane Society of the United States

And here’s what some other folks who’ve worked with me have said…

“Kelly is wickedly smart and intuitive, hilarious, warm and open, fun, inspiring, and a joy to work with.”

“Kelly’s not even a person. She’s like this force of nature pretending to be human."

"It's difficult to articulate the magic that Kelly brings to a project. She settles in and brings her whole self: heart, mind, soul, intuition, and miles and miles of wisdom. I gave her a pretty decent manuscript. And she gave me back a gamechanger. Can't wait for our next collaboration."

“Kelly offers something the world hungers for right now. She has a rare combination of experience, knowledge, curiosity, courage, and vulnerability. She words hard, cleanly, without playing games. And she has a way of seeing the best in others, which helps us to see the best in ourselves. I consider myself incredibly lucky to know and work with Kelly.”

“Kelly is the partner every writer needs! She has a special knack for seeing exactly where a manuscript needs to go and for communicating that information in accessible terms. She pointed me to critical resources and offered priceless feedback to keep me moving forward. She is a brilliant, kind and experienced soul to accompany you on your book writing journey.”

“Kelly is The Truth. She's the real deal.”

“I know I’d still be stuck writing my first book if it wasn’t for Kelly. She kept me on track, focused, and motivated. Thank you, Kelly!!!!”

“Part of Kelly’s magic is her excellent follow-through, her focused feedback, and her warmth.”

“Kelly understood my project like no one else I had found, was super clear with the kind of feedback that helped me key into core storyline components that needed to be addressed, and helped me see areas of opportunity for elevating my writing. I found her a pleasure to work with and am excited to continue our coaching relationship." 

“Kelly is a great clarifier. She has a keen ability to sniff out the thoughts that are still foggy in my head and ask questions or provide insights to bring them into focus. She can then guide me to the right words to sharply communicate my ideas to others. I recommend working with Kelly without reservation." 

“Subject: You are a wizard!
Hey Kelly. I just read through the emails you sent and you make me sound amazing and feel amazing about what ‘I’m’ saying! Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your work.”

"When I saw Kelly walk into [class] for the first time I thought, ''S***'s about to get real,' and I wanted to hug her. ... I was impressed with how vulnerable Kelly was willing to be with us. She really helped me."

“Kelly is not only an extremely gifted speaker and writer—she is also an incredible role model for her students of all ages. She is a dream to work with—professional, punctual, and prepared. Her classes always deliver with content that engages, energizes, and leaves the students asking 'When will Kelly return?'"

"When you need a strong shot of motivation, seek counsel from the ever-wise Kelly Madrone. You'll likely find her with a cup of coffee in hand, a smile on her face, and an open heart that is ready to provide service.”

“Kelly is grace.”

"I have had many teachers during my lifetime. Kelly stands above the rest. Kelly built each student up, gently guiding us in a direction that made perfect sense for us individually. Don't miss an opportunity to take a class with her. She will change your life as she did mine.”

“Kelly has taught me so much not just about how to do [my work], but how to live."

"Kelly defines what a teacher should be."
