This is the book we wished someone else had written — so we wrote it ourselves.
Kirsten Donaghey and Nicole Bross: writers, editors, ADHD coaches, and book coaches know firsthand how hard it can be to write with a neurodivergent brain. A Novel Approach brings together our experience, tools, and deep understanding of what it’s really like to wrangle words (and attention spans) when you have ADHD.
Whether you’re stuck in the middle of a manuscript or still trying to start, this book is for you.

Finally—a book on writing that understands how your ADHD brain actually works
ADHD can throw so many hurdles in your path that writing a novel sometimes feels impossible. A Novel Approach: Strategies for ADHD Writers is written with those obstacles in mind.
This book is for you if:
- You’re tired of writing advice that isn’t designed for an ADHD brain
- You want to write a book but can’t get organized enough to start
- You have a lot of unfinished books because you keep getting distracted by new ideas
- You struggle with motivation, procrastination or forgetfulness so the writing never gets done
- You sit down to write, only to lose focus five minutes later
Sound familiar? You’re not alone; these are common issues that many writers with ADHD face, but with the right tools and strategies you can achieve your goal of writing a novel!
With this book, you’ll learn how to:
- Organize your ideas into a framework that will guide you from your first page to the last
- Develop a writing routine that’s customized to your unique situation and needs
- Stay focused and motivated all the way through your draft, even when you’d rather be doing anything else
- Turn your ADHD into a creative advantage by tapping into your strengths
Full of exercises, case studies and thought-provoking advice, A Novel Approach will show you how to develop new habits and practices that work with, not against your ADHD. ADHD doesn’t have to get between you and your dream of being an author! It’s time to rewrite the story you’ve been telling yourself about what you can do, because your ADHD doesn’t get the final word—you do.
