Lambda Literary Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lambda Literary Awards (also known as "Lammies") are awarded yearly by the US-based Lambda Literary Foundation to published works which celebrate or investigate LGBT themes. There are various categories, including Humor, Romance, and Biography (for a full list, see below). To qualify, a book must have been published in the United States in the year current to the award. The Lambda Literary Foundation states that its mission is "to celebrate LGBT literature and provide resources for writers, readers, booksellers, publishers, and librarians - the whole literary community."[1] The awards were instituted in 1988.
