LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALISTS

Finalists for the 27th Annual Lambda Literary Awards–the “Lammys.” The winners will be announced at a gala ceremony on Monday evening, June 1, 2015 in New York City.

“Each year, the Lammys bring national attention to the best LGBTQ books, which are often overlooked by the mainstream media and might otherwise be forgotten,” said Lambda Literary Board President, S. Chris Shirley. “This critical program of Lambda Literary not only recognizes the outstanding work of these talented authors, but also underscores the importance of LGBTQ stories, which are fundamental to the preservation of our culture.”
