Description
Raising Will is a heartfelt, humbling memoir written by a Texan turned Minnesotan mother and child psychologist. Her heart breaks for Will when he is repeatedly banned from Fun Friday in 1st grade shortly after he is diagnosed with ADHD. The family zig-zags through an obstacle course of therapies, medication side effects, tutoring, and sleepless nights, while shining a light on Will’s inherent strength – blues guitar. Her readers will surely recognize themselves in this story and find solace, laughter, and hope as they celebrate the surprising blessings ADHD can bring

Marketing Plan
Plan to purchase Media Outreach Program through IBPA. Hiring publicist to help get the word out about my book. I plan to seek speaking engagements, submit my work to organizations associated with ADHD (e.g., Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder), reach out to schools and libraries, continue to build up my social media platform, and keep learning how to get my book to people impacted by ADHD :)
