Can someone with dyslexia become an author?


Q: I have dyslexia. Can I be an author?

A: YES, yes, a resounding yes! Google any of these authors, and you will learn about their challenges with the written word, BUT you will also read about their passion for words and stories and the joy and fulfillment from becoming an author. For example, author Fleur Hitchcock wrote an article, “Why Dyslexia Shouldn’t Stop You From Being an Author,” for Booktrust.org.uk in 2017. The other authors offer similar encouraging words.

Do you know of other authors with dyslexia that we’ve left off this list?
