Lambda Literary Award for Speculative Fiction

Lambda Literary Awards (also known as the "Lammys") are awarded yearly by the United States-based Lambda Literary Foundation to published works that celebrate or explore LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) themes. The awards are presented annually for books published in the previous year. 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]

Since their inception in 1989, awards have been given in various categories in fiction and non-fiction.[2] The title for this category has changed several times, most recently to "LGBTQ+ Speculative Fiction".

Eligibility guidelines

To be eligible for the award, a book must meet the following requirements:[3]

This category includes science fiction, fantasy, horror and related genres; submissions can be in the form of novels, novellas, or short story collections.[3]

As with other Lambda Literary Awards, the books nominated for the Lambda Literary Award for Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror are selected based on several factors, including LGBTQ+ content, quality of writing and artistic merit.[4]
