Award-winning author Jason Sanford will explore tips and strategies that help neurodiverse writers along with how typical writing advice and expectations can sometimes be harmful.
Long Description:
Neurodiverse writers have always been around and frequently approach the art of fiction in different ways from neurotypical people. For authors who are on the autistic spectrum, have ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia, bipolar disorder, and other unique ways of experiencing the world, traditional advice on how to write fiction may actually be harmful or counterproductive. In this workshop, award-winning author Jason Sanford will explore the tips and strategies that help him create his fiction, including new advice on dealing with issues such as brain fog and neurodiverse pacing. In addition, he'll also cover how some of the typical advice given to writers, such as "put your butt in a chair and write" or "write 1000 words each day," can actually be harmful to neurodiverse authors. Jason's booklet "Tips and Strategies for Neurodiverse Writers" will be provided to all attendees.
