We’re building a series of blog posts that talk about famous dyslexics from around the world and across time. We’re hoping the series becomes quite extensive so I thought a great way for people to navigate those posts is to have one single post that lists all of the people we’ve talked about or will talk about and links to the blog posts where we talk more about those people.

As I said, we’re looking to keep growing this list of Famous Dyslexics so please share in the comments any other names know you and we’ll feature them! Because it really is inspiring to know how many fabulously talented and capable adults have faced the challenges of dyslexia and created successful and happy lives. These are our “famous” dyslexics, but we’re also planning another list of the “successfully dyslexic” to share the stories of every day people like you and me, the people who aren’t famous, but who have still lead powerful lives of personal or professional success. If you know someone who could be added to that list please send me an email! I’d love to chat with them!
