About the Stonewall Book Awards

The Stonewall Book Awards of the ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵ are given annually to English-language books of exceptional merit relating to the LGBTQIA+ experience. The awards are given to works published in the United States in the previous calendar year, although works published elsewhere may be considered. Re-printings of previously published books will not be considered. Substantially changed new editions of previously published works and English translations of foreign-language books are eligible for the awards.

The Book Award Committee announces the winners at the ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵ (ALA) LibLearnX (LLX), usually held in January. The awards, which consist of a commemorative plaque and a cash award of $1000, are presented to the winning authors or editors at the ÂÜÀòÍøÊÓƵAnnual Conference, held in June or July. Honor authors receive a certificate and no cash award.

Awards are made in three categories: adult literature, adult nonfiction and children's and young adult literature. Use the form below to suggest titles for the children's and young adult literature category, and should be suggested separately.
