Let’s Face It—Publishing is Confusing and Tough
And when you’re neurodivergent, it can be even more so. But there’s hope! We want to hear more neurodiverse voices in kidlit, so we started the Neurodiverse Kidlit Collective!
Highlights Foundation Scholarship
The Highlights Foundation positively impacts children by amplifying the voices of storytellers who inform, educate, and inspire children to become their best selves.
It’s right there, in their mission. And they put their money where their mouth is with their excellent, top tier programming from diverse authors.
We partnered with them to create a scholarship for neurodivergent individuals looking to write authentic stories. This scholarship is good for both on-campus and online courses. But we urge you to attend an on-campus workshop if you can! The magic on campus is really unbelievable!
Our Community on Discord
Surviving and thriving as a writer comes down to your community. And what better than to join a community of writers with a similar journey to your own? Who understand the nuances of being neurodivergent?
We created a server on Discord just for that purpose. Feel free to join us if you identify as neurodivergent!
