Fort Collins Book Fest - Getting Out of Your Own Way as a Neurodivergent Author

Many people want to write a book, but it can seem like a daunting task. Add in being Neurodivergent, and suddenly the idea of writing anything can feel nearly impossible. How can you write a book when you have executive functioning issues, perfectionism, anxiety, and other challenges? In this workshop, Autistic ADHD author and advocate, Daisy Montgomery, will discuss the obstacles she faced when writing her first book and how writing a book you're proud of is possible when you embrace your brain and its quirks.

This event is brought to you in collaboration with Fort Collins Museum of Discovery. Get a free ticket in advance via the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery website.
