The Finlay Lloyd 20/40 Publishing Prize Winning Books of 2024

Please join us for the celebration of the Finlay Lloyd Publishing Prize 20/40 for the winning books of 2024

About the Prize

The 20/40 Prize is an annual publishing prize for fiction and nonfiction manuscripts of between 20,000 and 40,000 words. Each year, two books are chosen through a blind evaluation process by a panel of judges. Finlay Lloyd is a not-for-profit press devoted to encouraging and enabling Australian writing. In this spirit, the 20/40 winning manuscripts are supported through a thorough editing process and their authors are invited to join the judging panel the following year.
