DYSLEXIA & CREATIVITY (VISUAL-SPATIAL SKILLS)

My name is Neil Alexander-Passe, I am dyslexic myself, a post-graduate and a published researcher. Please check out my links below to confirm my publishing status. I have also given research papers at the last two BDA conferences.

I am the editor of a new series of books on dyslexia (from the large American Publisher ‘Nova publishers’ www.novapublisher.com), looking at several issues which have been under-researched in the past.

 

The book I am writing to you about is concerned with researching the links between dyslexia and creativity/visual-spatial skills, in both art/design and the world of business/science.

This is a serious academic book which aims to discuss the issues involved and will be peer-reviewed, thus all abstracts will be read and commented by others in the field to their suitability. Final chapters will be read and commented on by other experts in the field to its suitability. Help with spelling, sentence structure and grammar will be given, if required.

I am looking for possible chapter authors who are able to write either:
(1) About their own research in the field of creativity/visual-spatial ability
OR

(2) Are able to describe their own creative processes and how dyslexia impact on it (in art/design/business/science etc). You may also be able to show some of your artwork if relevant, if it is in black/white/greyscale.

If you are interested in such a project, please email me at

(neil.alexander-passe@inghams.co.uk) with the type of chapter you would be happy to write (150-400 word descriptions please) and approximately how long you believe your chapter might end up being. Research chapters will thus be longer than personal accounts.

Thank you
