More writing, less shame – as an ADHD

Hey ADHD writer! Your brain is not the problem you think it is. 

With the right mindset, tools, and support, you can achieve all your writing goals and more!

     – Susanne

Do you feel

You can keep doing what you’re doing and keep feeling the same way. Or I can help you feel more confident and happy about your writing future!

Susanne Schotanus of Passionate Writer Coaching

For years, I was convinced everyone else had figured out something I simply couldn’t. I knew I was smart and capable, so why couldn’t I capture that on the page and my resumé? Then, I discovered that my problem was never my brain, it was the system.

Today, I am the first ADHD writing coach for adults. Since 2020, I’ve helped hundreds of ADHD writers just like you stop fighting their brains and start finishing their work.

Body doubling

Sometimes, you just need a reason to sit down and write. That's why I designed my Writers' Room as an online space where we can write together, providing accountability and motivation through body doubling.

Group coaching

Connect with other ADHD writers who experience the same challenges you do. You'll offer each other support and understanding, and learn together how to best work WITH your ADHD brains.

You're not the problem. Your tools are.

As an ADHD writer, you’ve probably spent years believing the problem was you. But the truth is, most writing advice was designed for neurotypical brains… And you keep comparing your own process to that of neurotypical writers. You’re using the wrong tools, so of course you don’t quite compare! 

That’s where I come in. As the world’s first ADHD writing coach, I’ve helped hundreds of writers with ADHD stop fighting their brains. 

Because something changes in a big way when you stop wishing you were different and start accepting what you actually need. Suddenly, your ADHD quirks aren’t a failure, but a feature. Something expected and predictable, that we can build a sustainable writing practice around! That’s what I do in my 1-on-1 coaching, group coaching, and body doubling sessions. No rigid schedules, no “should’s,” no shame. Just flexible systems, practical tools, and a whole lot of self-compassion. 

If you’re ready to stop beating yourself up over not being neurotypical and start making real progress on writing projects that matter to you, I’d love to help! Schedule a free video call and let’s figure out together what’s been getting in your way – and how to remove it.Â
