A Book Flight Representing Neurodivergent Teens with Author Ginny Kochis (E46)
Description
In today’s episode, I am chatting with Ginny Kochis. Ginny writes books for the unique and unrepeatable, for teens and adults who don’t quite fit the mold. She tells stories about love, friendship, faith and family starring differently-wired characters. Since 2016, Ginny has supported Christian families raising differently-wired children through her online community, Not So Formulaic. She has been a contributing writer for Fat Brain Toys, The Mighty, Catholic Mom, and GHF. A former high school English teacher and Adjunct Professor of Developmental English, Ginny has over twenty years of experience teaching writing and literature. While Ginny lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and three children, she is happiest on the shores of the Neuse River. All she needs is her family splashing around in the water and a good book in her hand. Blink and We’ll Miss It is her fiction debut.
This was such a beautiful episode. We touched on the testament of strength it takes to be a writer. As well as books that have shaped our lives. Tune into this amazing episode to be inpsired and a book flight of books for older YA readers in your life.
