This week Andrew talks with New York Times & international bestselling author Madeline Martin. Madeline is the author of over 40 historical fiction & romance novels. After reading a book during her maternity leave, Madeline became inspired to write her own book as well. From there, she joined a local writers club & spent years immersing herself in the writing craft. Since then, she’s become one of the most successful & prolific authors in her genre. In this conversation, Madeline shares a behind-the-scenes look at her creative process & writing workflow. She also details her exhaustive research process & the quarterly goal-setting framework that’s helped her publish over 40 books in 15 years. This conversation is filled with lessons anyone can utilize to develop a new skill & become a more powerful storyteller.
