BOOKING ASSISTANCE

About MadHat Studios' Working Style:


MadHat Studios works best with authors who are ready to move forward and value clear processes, defined scope, and efficient collaboration.

Book a project

If you’re ready to move forward, you’re in the right place.


All scheduling is handled directly through the CLIENT PORTAL (button on the top right) or the "BOOK HERE" button on the bottom right) to keep projects organized, timelines realistic, and communication efficient.

How Booking Works

  1. Once you sign up or sign in to the CLIENT PORTAL you will be prompted to book your service.
  2. Here, you will select a service that best meets your criteria.
  3. Once you have selected your service, you will then be able to reserve your time to secure your spot.
  4. If you have difficulty finding availability, please click to the next month in the calendar for the next available date. 
    (Clients can only book one service at a time)
  5. Once complete, you will receive an email booking confirmation.

Important Notes Before Booking

  • Please read MadHat Studios Terms of Service carefully before scheduling.
  • Booking a time means you are ready to proceed with your service and have all required materials prepared to begin your project
  • Availability is shown in real time on the calendar.
  • I'm unable to hold or pencil in time without a booking.
  • Project-specific questions are handled after booking and on the day you've scheduled to begin so guidance is accurate.
  • All materials must be uploaded to your Client Google Folder prior to the booked start date (A Google Folder will be assigned  following your Client Portal Registration. The Google Folder link will be listed on the dashboard of your client portal).
  • MadHat Studios is not liable for contacting third-parties to collect materials.
