Update. Thanks to those emailing me & commenting with new authors. As I get new authors with ADHD I’ll add them below.
As a follow up to my post on The Top 11 Advantages To Having ADHD As A Writer, here’s a list of some authors who have gone public with having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and who’ve written non-ADHD Books. I.e., books about other topics than ADHD.
This list is for BC ADHD Awareness Week 2014 book displays in BC libraries and bookstores. It’s in addition to our list of ADHD books.
Some BC libraries and bookstores may have smaller collections of ADHD Books.
That’s one reason why we have this list of authors who have gone public with ADHD who have written non-ADHD Books to enhance the displays and show library patrons what some people with ADHD can do. Some authors have also written ADHD Books, some have not.
Here is the list of Author’s who have confirmed they have ADHD who’ve written non-ADHD books
Bryan L. Hutchinson
Clarence Page, Winner of 2 Pulitzer Prizes
Katherine Ellison Pulitzer Prize Winner
And we’re not even talking about the many high profile bloggers who have ADHD too although some people on that list blog too.
Do you know any more author’s who’ve gone public with ADHD vs. you think they’re ADHD, that has written NON-ADHD BOOKS? I.e., a topic that is NOT ADHD that you could add to this list?
We don’t need books on the topic of ADHD because the libraries will already put them up on display. Or know someone else who might know?
If you do, please let me know in the comments below. Thanks
Hello,
My name is Dan Largent and I am just about ready to release my second novel this summer. I also have ADHD. Here’s my blog on that https://adhdan.wordpress.com/
My first novel, Before We Ever Spoke, has had tremendous success. I actually just completed a media tour down south (I’m from Cleveland, but the main character is from the gulf coast) where I was on TV in 3 different states.
Thanks Dan, and good on you for doing an ADHD blog, linked to your book and your ADHD blog, hope more ADHD authors will do a ADHD blog or at least an ADHD category on their main blog
Thanks, Pete!!
You’re welcome Dan
