The JKP Writing Prize for 2025 has just been announced with a theme of disability. JKP are the publishers of the books that we write together with Alex. They recently published Alex’s edited collection – Trans and Disabled – which including a chapter by us on plurality.

The JKP Writing Prize is a competition for aspiring writers from underrepresented backgrounds. The theme this year is: Everyday Disability and Chronic Illness: Stories of Joy, Resistance, and Anti-Ableism. 

The voices of disabled and chronically ill people remain vastly underrepresented across many sectors, including the publishing industry. JKP are looking for a short 3,000-word submission and the winners will get their work published in an anthology and receive a £150 winners fee.

Please do share on and/or consider entering. You can find all the information you need here.
