Finally, a book that helps those who struggle with Long COVID to feel supported and understood!

Join our Kickstarter Book Launch for "The Long COVID Reader", which features essays, poetry, stories, and commentaries that explore the challenges of living with Long COVID.

Hear from 45 COVID Long Haulers

This book is the first of its kind and includes powerful stories reflecting broad demographics, underrepresented voices, and established and non-professional writers.

Raising Long COVID Awareness

The world is ready to move on from Covid. Yet living with Long COVID is tough. Long COVID stems from the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is a potentially damaging illness that can have long-term impacts. "The Long COVID Reader" raises awareness while giving readers a humanized view of this little-understood illness which affects millions.

Your Story Matters

This is the book that validates your story and struggle through what others have also been enduring. Healing properly requires decising to stop suffering in silence, and that starts here!

"The Long COVID Reader" is Led by Mary Ladd

Mary successfully used Kickstarter to fund her "Wig Diaries" book in 2019. She collaborated with Anthony Bourdain and her writing is in HEALTH, PLAYBOY, WILDFIRE, and several best-selling writing and cancer anthologies. Mary first experienced Long COVID symptoms in March 2022.

Your Story Matters

When people hear our Long COVID stories, it plants a seed. People begin to take COVID seriously and realize they too may be one infection away from Long COVID. Together, we can advocate for better treatments, programs, and research. Our healing starts here.
