I didn’t plan to start a writing business.
Hi! My name is Crystal, and this is my story.
I didn’t plan to start a writing business. But life—like any good plot twist—had other ideas.
I used to clock in at a big-league motor company, living that 9-to-5 corporate grind, until a heart condition hit the brakes on everything. Suddenly, I was forced to quit, left with zero backup plan and a whole lot of “now what?”
Spoiler alert: I made it work.
Within 30 days, I landed my first freelance client, and the rest? Pure storytelling magic. That one “yes” sparked the start of C Maddux Write, and I’ve been helping writers and aspiring authors bring their stories to life ever since.
What Drives Me - my inspiration
My Promise to You
I come from a family of helpers—nurses, EMTs, caregivers—the kind of people who heal you from the outside in.
Me? I help people heal, connect, and grow through stories. Through voices. Through books.
My mission is simple: Help you write the book that’s been burning inside you—whether you’re just starting out, stuck in the messy middle, or finally ready to cross the finish line.
And no, I won’t let you do it alone.
The Process is Personal because your story is
What You Can Expect Working With Me
I’m the type who’ll hype you up and hold you accountable. I bring structure to your story, clarity to your characters, and a whole lot of love to the messy, magical writing process. Whether we’re outlining, editing, or drafting from scratch, I’ll meet you where you are—and get you where you want to go.
So, if you’re ready to take your book from “someday” to “let’s do this,” you’re in the right place.
A few things I believe in:
- Every story deserves a chance to be told (yes, even that one)
- Writing should feel empowering—not overwhelming
- Structure matters, but voice is everything
- First drafts are allowed to be chaos (bless them)
- Sass, strategy, and a solid beat sheet can fix almost anything
If you've made it this far...
It’s probably time we worked together.
Let’s write the story that’s been following you around. The one you can’t stop thinking about. The one you know has something to say.
