Writing with Dyslexia: Why I Didn’t Let It Stop Me

Writing with Dyslexia: Why I Didn’t Let It Stop Me

I’ve never seen words the way most people do.

Growing up with dyslexia meant I struggled with spelling, reading aloud, and trusting the words on the page to match what was in my mind. School was tough. Exams were tougher. And becoming a writer? That sounded impossible.

But here’s what no one tells you: dyslexia doesn’t kill creativity. If anything, it deepens it.

When I created The Pangean Chronicles, I didn’t do it because writing came easy—I did it because the story inside me demanded to be told. I used tools to help me. I rewrote sentences a hundred times. I second-guessed spelling. But I kept going.

Dyslexia teaches you resilience. It teaches you to fight for your voice.

Now, I’m proud to say I’m a self-published author with a world, a following, and books that reach readers all over the globe. If you're someone with dyslexia dreaming of writing a book, let me tell you: you absolutely can. Your voice matters, and the way you see the world might just be the fresh perspective someone else has been waiting for.

So go ahead. Write it. Spellcheck is your friend. Your story is still yours.
