About

Welcome to Reading with Aphantasia, a supportive space for readers who experience stories without the visuals.

Aphantasia is a cognitive experience in which the brain cannot form mental images voluntarily. This means that when people with aphantasia read, they don’t see the characters and scenes come to life like a movie in their mind. Of course, they can still enjoy books and connect with stories! The way people with aphantasia experience books can be just as rich and meaningful as any other form of reading—whether through deep emotional connection, intellectual engagement, or pure enjoyment. 

We believe that reading is for everyone. Here, you can discover practical tips, resources, and insights into how aphantasia shapes the way we connect with stories. We’ll explore ways to adapt reading practices, review books especially great for those without a mind’s eye, and discuss everything from reading comprehension to audiobook recommendations so you can understand and improve your reading experience.
