Mad Skillz
Hey there!
Mad Skillz is based in beautiful Aotearoa (the land of the long white cloud) and works with clients all over the globe. We have over 20 years of experience in Executive level Assistance, with a wide range of skillz.
You’re here because you have written a book and need an editor, proofreader, or a personal assistant. Or you’re here because you are ready to build your business. We can help with that!
Mad Skillz is a virtual assistance service, built to serve YOU. We believe in the power of a good team.
You do not have to do everything and do it all alone!
We are here to help you “get the work done.” As a writer your main responsibility is putting ideas and words on the page. As a business owner, your main responsibility is to focus on building your business. Our assistance can provide the technical work to help make that happen.
We are very proud to say we have also helped 9 authors get on the USA Today Best Sellers List! Congratulations!!
We can’t wait to work with you!

Madeleine Booth-Smits
Kia ora, I’m Madeleine Booth-Smits, founder of Mad Skillz. I have over 20 years of executive level assistance, 5 years of English grammar teaching plus 4 years of editing and proofreading experience. As a result I love to help and grammar totally rocks my world!!
I love to travel and have lived and worked in 8 different countries. I am an avid reader and devour books as an editor, proof and ARC reader.
I am also a yoga teacher specializing in restorative yoga. With my family I practice Combat Hapikdo and am working towards my blue belt (5th kup). I have a very naughty bengal, Higgs, and two medium humans who keep me on my toes.
I will always rather be reading!
