| Submission declined on 24 October 2025 by MCE89 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Russ Madison is an author from Woodbridge, CT. His first novel, Victory Among the Insane, from Grove Press, received national critical acclaim.[1][2][3] He has contributed to the literary magazine Evergreen Review.[4]
His archives at Boston University include correspondence with the former poet laureate, Donald Hall of Hamden, CT, and Norman Mailer.[1]
Madison was awarded the national Ruth Stone Poetry Prize from the Vermont College of Fine Arts.[1] He worked for a month at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Mass. on a fellowship from Califomia's Lannan Foundation.[5]
Madison has written some of his eight books on cement beds, and more recently has written novels on rolls of paper towels scrolled through electric typewriters.[1][6][5] According to Madison, "I was a laborer for lots of years, and this is simply like manual labor, it looks like an assembly line, and it just works for me."[5] During his stay in Provincetown, he wrote 600 feet in 30 days and met Norman Mailer, commenting, "He seems to like [the book] so far. I've never thoroughly interviewed him, but he's nuts himself, so it fits right in."[5]
Madison has achieved success in the advertising industry, serving as senior vice president/creative director of the advertising agency Langeler-Mason (now Mason, Inc.) before eventually opening Lone Wolf Advertising in Woodbridge, CT, along with his Art Director wife Gi.[1][7][8][9] He has contributed articles such as American Advertising 'Creativity': The Great Fraud of the 1980s to the publication Back Stage.[10]
