Outstanding Mid-Career Novelist Prize

The Outstanding Mid-Career Novelist Prize is presented annually at the Lambda Literary Awards ceremony. The award, made possible by James Duggins, PhD, consists of two cash prizes of $5,000.

The awards will be presented to two LGBT-identified authors.  Age is not a determining factor. The award recognizes LGBT content of importance to the LGBT community and with emergent LGBT authors who have written and published at least three novels, or two novels and substantial additional literary work such as poetry, short stories, and essays.  A panel (or panels) will be created to identify candidates & winners. Recommended winners will be reviewed by the Staff and Board of Trustees of the Lambda Literary Foundation.  Click on the link below to download the revised 2012 nomination guidelines.  Nominations are open through March 16, 2012
