KQ Releases Her Book

Episode Summary

How does our book journey shape us? Leading up to the May 2019 launch of her memoir, Raising Will: Surviving the Brilliance and Blues of ADHD, Katherine Quie reflects on her path so far, both as a writer and as an advocate.

Episode Notes

Writing a book is like parenting. We think we'll write a book, but really the book also writes us -- and changes us in fundamental ways. Amy and Katherine talk about how that happens.

By her own (skewed) estimation, Katherine Quie has been writing her memoir for five billion years, but now here she stands, on the verge of launching Raising Will: Surviving the Brilliance and Blues of ADHD. At this milestone for her book (intimately tied to her parenting journey), Katherine and Amy reflect on all the ways she's progressed so far, and Katherine's hopes for this work going forward -- not just a book anymore, but a mission.
