The Neurodivergent Publishing Conference (NPC) is a virtual writing and publishing conference designed for and by neurodivergent people. Our goals are simple: to create a neurodivergent space in the publishing world, discuss the unique challenges and triumphs of neurodivergent people, and to discuss tools, solutions, and options that exist for neurodivergent members of the publishing community.

So what’s different?

Well, the NPC has three planned tracks: for authors, for editors, and neurodivergent life. While we will have general topics you might find at all writing conferences (such as: how do I market this dang book!?), our focus is on doing so with a mind on how these experiences may be different for neurodivergent people. Also, the conference space is designed with neurodivergent comfort in mind. Our virtual conference space (hosted on Gather) is going to be easy to navigate, fun to explore, and have spaces and ways for people to communicate (or not) however they choose to!

While we are in the process of putting together our speakers list and vendors, please check back soon to receive updates on where we are and what the schedule is shaping up to look like!
