The Lambda Literary Awards seek to recognize excellence in the field of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender literature. Each year, over 80 judges -- writers, booksellers, librarians, journalists -- assess the entries in more than 20 categories.
NOTE: Any book with LGBT content can be submitted for a Lambda Literary Award, by its author or by its publisher. These books have not been chosen by the judges, but submitted for their consideration. A shortlist of finalists will be chosen for their achievment.
