The Long Climb
The Long Climb is about my experience as a late diagnosed neurodivergent in recovery from burnout, my life as a playwright in NYC, and whatever else is banging around in my brain.

“Sane and smart and genuine, it's always good to read wtuff from a working artist who is also a working human.”

“I've known Kari's work for many years and can recommend her as a thoughtful and soulful writer well worth following.”
James Pagliasotti, James’s Substack
“Read The Long Climb if you’re interested in gender dynamics affecting ADHD life and diagnosis. We’re able to step into Kari Bentley-Quinn’s experiences and realizations as she illuminates the complex interactions and behaviors of her life. Her time studying ADHD is obvious and she has the talent of a writer with years of experience. Her vulnerability inspires me to write. I’ve described KBQ as my “Doppelgänger on Substack”, but that’s only accurate on a few fronts, as she provides so much more.”
