About

Empowering Your Writing Journey

Welcome! I'm Nem Mcmorran, founder of Spondylux Press.
As an award-winning AuDHD author who navigated the publishing world later in life—birthing my first book at 43—I know firsthand the unique challenges writers face, especially those who are neurodivergent. My own journey involved navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic illness while trying to manage creative block and home educating as a single mum. Crucially, this difficult process forced me to develop the focused, sustainable strategies I now share with my clients.

From Seven Years to Six Months: My Writing Transformation

It took me seven years to finish my first book. It wasn't until it was published that I received my official autism diagnosis. Equipped with this knowledge, my second book took just eight months to write, and once I realised I was also an ADHDer, my third took only six months.
This cumulative understanding helped me develop effective ways to manage consistency, efficiency, and avoid burnout.

Spondylux Press: Publishing from a neurodivergent perspective

The focused learning and growth I experienced while writing, and the barriers I encountered within the industry, led me to start Spondylux Press in 2019 to publish my own books as well as work by other autistic authors. Navigating this process and learning the tricks of the trade resulted in two Nautilus Book Awards, Rubery, Firebird, and Purple Dragonfly awards between 2020 and 2024 for titles produced by our all -female -non-binary, autistic-led, neurodivergent team. This success validates the effective, neuro-affirming methods we developed through that journey. Learn about our award-winning books.
