From the desk of: Laurie Dupar, Certified ADHD Coach
Granite Bay, California
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Last year about this same time I sat down to type an email announcing the book I wanted to put together that would contain tips and strategies from ADHD experts and professionals with the goal of increasing ADHD awareness around the world. Like you, I am fierce when it comes to advocating for people with ADHD and I want them to have access to the best resources possible. By joining together, I hoped we could have 100 times the positive impact on ADHD communities and individuals worldwide, just by pooling our talents, resources, and contacts. Some said it couldn’t be done. However, the response from the ADHD community was amazing!.
More than 80 of you responded from a variety of disciplines, experiences and expertise and answered the question “What is the most valuable tip or strategy I know for succeeding with ADHD?” As a result, the original edition of 365 ways to succeed with ADHD had something for everybody: parents, teachers, adults, teens, etc. Indeed a unique, one-of-a-kind resource for people with ADHD. And on top of that, when we launched the book during ADHD Awareness Week 2011, all of those who had contributed, became co-authors of a #1 Bestseller on the Amazon.com! Now, nearly a year later, we are doing it all again!
If you are ready to make a difference, I want to invite you to join me by reserving your space to submit your “most valuable tips or strategies for succeeding with ADHD” in this year’s book:
The ADHD Awareness Book Project: 365 +1 Ways to Succeed with ADHD
A full year (plus one day) of valuable tips and strategies by the world’s best coaches and experts
Yes! I want to be part of the next book!

Read what other’s are saying about 365 Ways to Succeed with ADHD
- “Each page in this book contains a wealth of information that I can start applying immediately to my daily routine, as an ADHD person. I also like the fact that I don’t have to read a long book to get practical answers to ADHD-specific needs to help improve the overall quality of my life. I recommend this book to anyone who has ADHD…”
- “I spent the morning reading through it and (as a ADD mom to a ADD tween) this book really helped me put a lot of our daily struggles in perspective. This book is broken into short tips that get straight to the point and is a book that I will refer back to again and again!”
- “If you love the concept of a “greatest hits” collection, this is a great book. The idea of getting all the top experts in the art and science of ADHD strategies together to contribute one strong concept each is genius. Love the bite-size bits and love that you can focus on a particular strategy — say, one on procrastination or home organization — and just work that until it’s instilled. Thanks for this book!”

Here are what some of last year’s participants are saying about The ADHD Awareness Book Project
“The ADHD Awareness Book Project is a must-read for anyone affected by ADHD. The book contains a bit of wisdom for each day of the year, written by over 80 contributors with a wealth of experience. I give this excellent book my highest recommendation.”
~Kate Kelly, MSN, SCAC co-author of You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! and The ADDed Dimension
“Whether you have ADHD or are supporting someone with ADHD, there is something for everyone in The ADHD Awareness Book Project. This book is an excellent resource! There has been a need for this type of book for a long time. Now, it is finally here!!!”

Praise for 365 Ways to Succeed With ADHD from our Readers
“I am really pleased with this purchase! Each page in this book contains a wealth of information that I can start applying immediately to my daily routine, as an ADHD person. I also like the fact that I don’t have to read a long book to get practical answers to ADHD-specific needs to help improve the overall quality of my life. I recommend this book to anyone who has ADHD or their family members.”
~Charlotte
“I spent the morning reading through it and (as an ADD mom to an ADD tween) this book really helped me put a lot of our daily struggles in perspective. This book is broken into short tips that get straight to the point and is a book that I will refer back to again and again!”
~Christine from Pottstown, Pennsylvania
“If you love the concept of a “greatest hits” collection, this is a great book. The idea of getting all the top experts in the art and science of ADHD strategies together to contribute one strong concept each is genius. Love the bite-size bits and love that you can focus on a particular strategy — say, one on procrastination or home organization — and just work that until it’s instilled. Thanks for this book!”
How does the process work?
Co-authors will create a short essay, story, list, tip, strategy or technique (containing 150 words or less) about how to succeed with ADHD and submit it to us by August 1, 2012.
My team members and I will edit and proofread your piece (so you don’t have to worry about getting it “just right”…we’ll do that for you!) and include it in The ADHD Awareness Book Project: 365 +1 Ways to Succeed with ADHD.
The book will be officially published in September 2012, just in time to celebrate ADHD Awareness Week: October 14th-20th. We’ll be taking action to ride the wave of publicity for ADHD Awareness Week to help spread the word about the book so we can not only serve our cause as a whole but offer co-authors maximum exposure for their contribution and expertise as well.
Every co-author will receive one complimentary copy of the physical book. Plus, we’ll show you how to buy additional copies at a discount if you want more on hand to gift to family, friends, and/or clients (to foster goodwill and establish credibility) or sell at speaking gigs (to earn extra income or attract new clients).
Or you can just display your own copy on your personal bookshelf as a reminder that you are a contributing author to a project that’s much, much bigger than the sum of its parts.
Who can become a contributing author?
Contributing authors can include ADHD experts, coaches, professionals who work with ADHD, people who have had experience with ADHD…in essence, anyone who has any insights or knowledge that will help people with ADHD to find success in their lives!
In our last book we had such notable authors as:
- Kate Kelly
- Nancy Ratey
- David Giwerc
- Sari Solden
- Linda Roggli
- And many more!
How can I participate?
Below is more information about how you can take part and share your strategies and tips…….with potentially hundreds of thousands of people.
Basically, you submit your best tips, story, strategy, list or technique, about how to succeed with ADHD. Once reviewed and approved by our editors, your piece will appear in The ADHD Awareness Book Project: 365+1 Ways to Succeed with ADHD edited by Laurie Dupar, in September 2012.
Similar books of this type might charge thousands for co-authors to participate, but my goal is to keep this project extremely do-able for anyone wanting to take part. In order produce a professionally published book that you will be proud to co-author and to help cover the costs of coordinating the author submissions and putting the book together with an associate editor, proofreader, formatter, and custom cover designer, I am excited this year to be able to offer an amazing rate!

Still have questions? Here are the answers!
Q: What should my piece be about?
A: When you register, you’ll be sent a “Co-Authors Guide” with more ideas and direction. However, in a nutshell, your contribution should be 150 words about your top strategies or tips you think will best help people with ADHD succeed.
Q: Why only 150 words?
A: Because I wanted to make it completely do-able for you—and helpful and readable by people with ADHD. On that note, realize that 150 words is the MAX. You can write just 50 words if you’d like. I also wanted this to mimic the popular “daily thought” calendars and books so many of us have in our homes—something to set the tone for your day if read first thing in the morning, make you smile before bed or give you a lift during your day. However, if 150 words simply aren’t enough, I encourage you to reserve your spots so you can submit multiple tips or strategies.
Q: Can I submit more than one contribution?
A: Yes, you can submit as many contributions as you want. Just increase the “quantity” on the purchase page.
Q: When is the final deadline?
A: The final contributor pieces are due no later than Wednesday, August 1st, 2012, 11:59pm PST. If everyone does their part, we’ll have the book ready for publishing by the end of September in time for ADHD Awareness Week in October. Won’t that be a great way to raise ADHD awareness?!
Q: Will my full name be included with my contribution?
A: Yes, plus you’ll get the opportunity to submit a short author bio with each submission that can include your contact info and website to promote your business.
Q: What if I don’t want my name published with my piece?
A:I’d encourage you to change your mind. Even though it’s just one page, it’s still a way to get recognition for being a contributing author to a published book sold on Amazon.com. However, if you insist, we can leave your name out.
Q: Who will own the copyright to the work?
A: Each author will retain the rights to their own contribution. You are providing permission for the use of your material in the book. Also, by submitting your material for this book you grant Laurie Dupar non-exclusive permission to reproduce this material in print, electronic or other media to promote the book. The author will be credited for their contribution whenever used in other media.
Q: Can I submit something that’s been published before?
A: No, we ask that all pieces be original. Remember, though, you retain reprint rights of your own work and can republish your contribution elsewhere if you’d like.
Q: Will The ADHD Awareness Book Project: 365+1 Ways to Succeed with ADHD be available for purchase on Amazon.com?
A: Yes.
Q: Will I get a cut of the Amazon proceeds?
A: Unfortunately, it’s just not feasible with so many co-authors. So we’ve selected three non-profit charities to receive a portion of the net proceeds. The three charities we have chosen to contribute to are: Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (CHADD), Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA), and the ADHD Coaches Organization (ACO). One dollar from the sales of each book on Amazon.com will be divided equally between these three organizations and paid out quarterly. Barely half-way through this year we have already paid out over $600 in charitable funds!
Q: Will I be able to earn any money from the sale of the book?
A: Yes, you can keep any profits on copies of the book you sell yourself.
Q: What will be the price of the book?
A: The book will most likely be priced somewhere between $19.95 -$24.95 on Amazon.com and other national booksellers.
Q: When will the book come out?
A: If everything goes as planned, the book is due to be published at the end of September, 2012.
Q: Can you tell me more about the plans for marketing and promoting the book?
A: Each contributing author will receive a “media kit” that includes promotional emails, blog posts, press release announcing the book, Twitter updates and more. You can use the pieces in your ezine, submit the ready-to-go news releases to your local newspaper, update your status on Facebook, etc. In addition, we hope to be doing further regional and national PR to spread the word about the book project and encourage you to do so as well!
Q: This sounds like an anthology or collection book. Is it?
A: Yes, in a way. It’s gathering together a number of individual authors in one book. What makes it different than other anthology/collection books is that the investment to participate is far, far less than what those organizers ask for.
Q: Speaking of, how much is it to be a contributing author?
A: Again, I wanted to make this extremely do-able for anyone wanting to participate and basically make sure I cover the costs of putting the book together. In order to create the best book possible, I will be using a production assistant, professional editor, proofreader, formatter and custom cover designer. In addition, we will have a PR campaign for the release of the book. You can get all of that for just $87 (per submission) or three for $247.
Q: What will I get for that again?
A: Here’s a recap:
- One contribution in the book as described above, including my full name (note: if you buy more submission spots you will get this for each spot your purchase!)
- “Co-Author” status in the professionally designed and published book
- Full distribution and availability of the book on Amazon.com, Kindle & other popular booksellers
- The opportunity to list my name and website in a short author bio
- Knowing that a portion of the proceeds will go to one of three top ADHD advocacy organizations
- Opportunity to use the book as a marketing tool for your own business or simply to give away… you choose
- Participation in a unique chance to directly increase the Awareness of ADHD
- BONUS! One physical copy of the book mailed directly to me (additional copies available for purchase)
- BONUS! A “Media Kit” so I can share the news of my participation in local print publications & social media, my ezine, emails and blog
Q: Can contributing authors from outside of the United States participate?
A: Absolutely, yes! Last year we had several international contributors and this year I hope to get even more from all over the world to participate. To receive your personal copy of the book, contributing authors from outside the U.S. will be charged an additional fee to cover shipping costs.

Laurie Dupar, and Coaching for ADHD, reserves the right to accept or reject any contributing author application and/or piece submitted to The ADHD Awareness Book Project™. Why would we do that? There are a few reasons, including: 1) The piece isn’t appropriate for the project and the contributing author refuses to alter it, or 2) The author did not follow the guidelines above. If we decide that your piece is not appropriate for the book, you’ll receive a full refund.
You have up to 48 hours to cancel your reserved spot, and your money will be fully refunded. After that, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, including contributors not getting pieces completed by the stated deadline of 11:59 p.m. PT Wednesday, August 1, 2012. Why are we such sticklers? Because, to make this project a success, we need people who are ready to fully commit.
