<p>The Barbellion Prize is coming back! This essential literary prize which âcelebrates and promotes writing that represents the experience of chronic illness and disabilityâ has been on hiatus but is now relaunching. They need help to raise funds to cover the cost of running the prize and welcome any donations, please spread the word!<br>âAs with disability in general, the literature of disability and chronic illness is too commonly turned away from, leaving non-disabled readers ignorant of the profound difference experienced by many and disallowing a voice to chronically ill and disabled writers. All of the volunteers working to support the prize are motivated by a desire to celebrate difference as represented in literature and to effect positive social change via that representation.â</p><p><a href="https://barbellionprize.org/donate/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>barbellionprize.org/donate/</a></p><p><a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/reading/" rel="tag">#reading</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/chronicillness/" rel="tag">#chronicIllness</a> <a href="/tags/disability/" rel="tag">#Disability</a> <a href="/tags/disabled/" rel="tag">#disabled</a> <a href="/tags/literature/" rel="tag">#literature</a> <a href="/tags/publishing/" rel="tag">#publishing</a> <a href="/tags/internationaldayofpersonswithdisabilities/" rel="tag">#InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities</a> <a href="/tags/idpwd/" rel="tag">#IDPWD</a> @disability <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
