Madison Tyler Nelson

Madison has considered herself a writer since she received her first rejection letter at nine years old. After graduating with her BS in Psychology, she fled to New York City to chase her many dreams.

When she’s not writing dark, speculative stories about survival, she can be found managing marketing campaigns, wandering the aisles of bookstores, or in a crowd cheering for her favorite bands. While she (albeit sadly) can’t see ghosts, her debut novel PORTRAIT OF A HAUNTING was inspired by her childhood of growing up with incarcerated parents.

She lives in New York, NY with her husband and very loud Norwegian Elkhound.

PORTRAIT OF A HAUNTING is now available for pre-order wherever books are sold and will be on shelves October 6th, 2026.
