About the organizer

The founder of Passionate Writer Coaching, Susanne has dedicated the last 5 years of her life to helping ADHD writers achieve their goals and dreams. She spends her days talking to a wide variety of writers with ADHD — such as academics, novelists, memoirists, screenwriters, playwrights, and many more — and helping them to increase both their writing productivity and joy.

Susanne realized early on that there simply isn’t enough information (yet) on how ADHD affects writing, and, more importantly, how to overcome ADHD-specific challenges! That’s why she could think of no better way to celebrate her anniversary than by bringing together the top writing experts with ADHD.

Let’s learn together!
