Lambda Literary Awards
The first Lambda Literary Awards were presented at a black-tie gala
ceremony in 1989. Every year since then they have been awarded to the
finest lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans literature available in the
United States. The “Lammy” is the most prestigious, competitive, and
comprehensive literary award offered specifically to LGBT authors. For
more than two decades the Lambda Literary Awards has brought attention
to and honored exceptional writing about queer lives across multiple
genres published by large and small presses. If a book has a gold
sticker saying ‘Winner of the Lambda Literary Award’ on its cover, you
know it is both brilliantly written and a meaningful examination of the
LGBTQ experience.
