  • Sharmyn McGraw on Dyslexia and Organizers for Discovery Writers
    Dec 18 2024

    Episode 250 / Guest: Sharmyn McGraw, mystery author and creator of planner/organizers for discovery writers.

    Sharmyn shares the challenges of dyslexia and how she became a successful writer. We also get into marketing hurdles, strategies for staying organized, the benefits of not being a full-time writer; and we also geek out over our love of office supplies.

    Topics:

    • Tips for writing with dyslexia and the tools Sharmyn uses most
    • How to find an editor if you have dyslexia
    • Discovery writing
    • How a print organizer helps Sharmyn keep track of details in her story and the genre-specific organizers she created to help authors who are “pantsers” or discovery writers
    • Diversifying through multiple businesses, and why Sharmyn doesn’t want to become a full-time writer
