Madelines presentation is exceptional.I have been a teacher all my life and I can only stand in awe of her innate ability to inspire and educate people, especially in terms of drawing forth their creativity.

Without qualification I recommend her as an outstanding teacher.

I met her as a student at a TV writing class in the Sierras.Her understanding of the medium, both analytical and creative, is a rare commodity. She sparkles asboth a teacher and writer. The two dont usually go together.

We would rank her tops in clarity, originality, grasp of her subject.She hasthe remarkable capacity to engender enthusiasm and excitement in her students.

Youll learn more from one of Madelines seminars than from a year of classroom study.
