Stonewall Book Award
From Free net encyclopedia
Image:Stonewallbook.jpg Sponsored by the American Library Association's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Round Table, The Stonewall Book Awards are the first and most enduring awards for GLBT books. The awards are presented annually to English language works of fiction (Barbara Gittings Literature Award) and non-fiction (Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Award). They are announced in January to the winning authors or editors, who are given a plaque and cash stipend.
When first given in 1971 the award was called the Gay Book Award. Over the years the name has changed:
- Gay and Lesbian Book Award (1987-1989)
- Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Book Award (1994-1998)
- Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Book Award (1999-2001)
In 2002 the award was made under its current name which derives from the 1969 Stonewall riots.
