#24 Becoming a SciFi Author with dyslexia? It makes sense with the right tools. Iain McKinnon.

from Dyslexia Explored · host Darius Namdaran

#24 Becoming a SciFi Author with dyslexia makes more sense than you think. Iain McKinnon shares his story of how writing on a computer released his writing capability. He started with a short fun DIY film then was encouraged by his friends to write a screenplay for the story. It became a self-published book picked up by a publishing house specializing in Sci-fi zombie films! If your child is really good at making up stories then this will give practical everyday inspiration for you and your child's future. Its a facinating story of how Iain descovered tech as a way to release his creative potential. "With a degree in Psychology, qualifications in Neuro Linguistic Programming and profoundly dyslexic Iain’s writing is approachable, fast paced and visceral." http://iainmckinnon.weebly.com/author-profile.html Amazon link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Iain-McKinnon/e/B0034P0OGI/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1541086990&sr=8-1 Author Profile: http://iainmckinnon.weebly.com/author-profile.html Website: iain-mckinnon.co.uk Few of his books: Denying Thanatos - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Denying-Thanatos-Iain-McKinnon-ebook/dp/B00R8802S2/ref=la_B0034P0OGI_1_2/259-3375701-3715025?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1542180111&sr=1-2 , Domain of the Dead- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Domain-Dead-Iain-McKinnon-ebook/dp/B003V1WJ2W/ref=la_B0034P0OGI_1_1/259-3375701-3715025?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1542180111&sr=1-1 Mindmap programs he used: www.mindgenius.com/mind-mapping.aspx, www.xmind.net/download/xmind8/, https://simplemind.eu/ Get ivvi notes now: ⁠⁠⁠https://ivvi.dev/⁠⁠⁠ Dyslexia productivity coaching?: ⁠⁠⁠http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/⁠⁠⁠ Dyslexia Quiz: ⁠⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/⁠⁠⁠Bulletmap Academy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bulletmapacademy.com⁠⁠⁠How to Mindmap: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.bulletmapacademy.com/courses⁠⁠⁠ Ai and Mindmapping Training: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.ivvi.app/ai-mindmapping⁠⁠⁠ Interested in being a guest?
