Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses (ADCI) Literary Prize is open to all authors with disabilities and chronic illnesses, both visible and invisible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Ananya Rao-Middleton designed the logo for this prize to reflect the wide spectrum of people within the disabled community. The logo combines two main elements: a book to represent the inclusive literature the ADCI prize promotes and the Disability Pride flag as designed by writer Ann Magill.<\/p>\n\n<p>Originally conceived in 2019, the Disability Pride flag was re-designed by Ann Magill after they realised the original design of the flag wasn\u2019t fully accessible. Magill then made the flag free for everyone to use as they felt it had been designed by the community for the community. This is why the flag has been incorporated into the logo.<\/p>\n\n<p>Community and inclusivity are core values at the Society of Authors. Often marginalised communities like those with disabilities and chronic illness are overlooked and, along with the prize founder and sponsors, we feel it is important for these authors to be seen and feel seen by a readership they may not otherwise reach.<\/p>\n\n<p>You can find more information on the history and meaning of the disability pride flag <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weinberg.cuimc.columbia.edu\/news\/history-disability-pride-flag\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Image description<\/h4>\n\n<p>A picture of a book lying flat so the front cover is facing and you can see the outline of the pages. The Disability Pride flag is  diagonal on the front cover, with the colours black, red, gold, white, blue, green and finishing with black displayed from top to bottom. They are side by side, again, diagonally. The words \u201cADCI LITERARY PRIZE\u201d are written underneath. The meaning of the colours is as follows:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Red &#8211; physical disabilities<\/li>\n\n<li>Gold &#8211; neurodiversity<\/li>\n\n<li>White &#8211; invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven&#8217;t yet been diagnosed<\/li>\n\n<li>Blue &#8211; emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety, and depression<\/li>\n\n<li>Green &#8211; for sensory disabilities, including deafness, blindness, lack of smell, lack of taste, audio processing disorder, and all other sensory disabilities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p>The faded black background represents mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence and abuse.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-88368_f9a7c4-b2

year are stealthy books; they sneak into one\u2019s consciousness with the nous of stray cats, creeping along the walls until they emerge to rub against you. Then, all of a sudden, their claws are in and you can\u2019t forget them. Disabilities and chronic illnesses are handled with nary a hint of sensationalism, and it is storytelling that wins, giving insights into worlds that many people do not encounter regularly. There was a range of compelling books in the reading we did for the competition, but the two books we have chosen to celebrate are not only works of fine, restrained prose, they are haunting, they are books of remarkable ambition, they are books that will stay with their readers.&#8221;<\/p><cite>\u2014<strong> Nii Ayikwei Parkes<\/strong>, 2024 ADCI Literary Prize judge.<\/cite><\/blockquote><div
