I’m extremely happy and humbled to report that Ginny Moon has won the Handi-Livres Award for Best Novel of 2017! My French editor, Hélène, accepted the award on my behalf in Paris last week. Here’s a video of the envelope being opened, and Hélène’s gracious speech. The award itself is on its way in the mail, so I’ll be sure to post more pictures when it arrives.

So glad to hear the book kept you turning the pages! I just finished another book, and sent it off to my agent. Will be sure to post updates in my newsletter at http://www.benjaminludwig.com/newsletter, if you’d like to follow its progress! Also, Ginny writes her own section each month, so you can see what she’s up to as well.
Thanks again,

April 29, 2019 at 11:59 amJust read Ginny Moon. Well done. I thought your approach to the story through Ginny’ was brilliantly done. It helped me to understand what my grandson may be thinking in different situations (he is on the autism spectrum). Thank you!
