Who We Are
Lambda Literary nurtures and advocates for LGBTQ writers, elevating the impact of their words to create community, preserve our legacies, and affirm the value of our stories and our lives.
Lambda Literary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a history of dedication to developing writers and amplifying LGBTQ+ storytelling since 1989.
Lambda Literary is here to create—and defend—a world where LGBTQ+ voices can thrive.
For more than 30 years, Lambda Literary has fought to uplift LGBTQ+ stories, nurture emerging voices, preserve our legacies, and fight for our lives on a national level.
Our vital programs are only made possible with support from community members like you.
We need your collaboration to provide the tools, recognition, and space to affirm the value of LGBTQ literary life, and create community.
Make a donation today and help bring LGBTQ+ books into schools, provide scholarships to emerging writers, and expand the audience for LGBTQ+ literature.
