WINNER OF THE 2024 20/40 PUBLISHING PRIZE – Non Fiction. Tremor compellingly weaves of the author’s personal experience with our broader societal context where people with disabilities, often far more challenging than her own, try to adapt to the implicit expectations and judgements that surround them.

With empathy and flair, Voumard helps us understand that behind the convenient illusion of normality, individual lives chart atypical, often difficult, but ultimately inspiring paths.

About the Prize

Finlay Lloyd, an independent, non-profit publisher, established the 20/40 Publishing Prize to encourage imaginative and challenging writing of the highest quality, and to celebrate the pleasures of print on paper in an electronic age.

In an environment where writers find it increasingly difficult to find an audience, the prize offers a publishing opportunity for fiction and non-fiction prose works between 20,000 and 40,000 words.

Finlay Lloyd's aim is to identify and encourage good writing free from external pressures such as reputation and the undue influence of market forces. Entries to the prize are evaluated by a judging panel that reads all submissions ‘blind’, with a focus on creative inventiveness and quality.
