ADCI Literary Prize is open for submissions

Submissions for the the inaugural ADCI Literary Prize are now open.

The prize was co-founded by Clare Christian of RedDoor Press and Penny Batchelor, with the support of the The Society of Authors. It’s the first of its kind for authors with a disability and/or chronic illness, and calls for novel entries which include a disabled or chronically ill character or characters. The winner will receive £1,000 and two runners-up £500 each.

At the launch Penny said:

“The prize will make a great difference in highlighting the importance of positive disability representation in our culture, as well as raising the profile of DCI authors and their books to readers and the wider publishing industry.”

Entries close on 31st August 2022, with the winners being announced in June 2022. For full details see: https://www2.societyofauthors.org/prizes/the-soa-awards/the-adci-literary-prize/
