The Alice B Readers Award

The Alice B award is a one-off honour awarded to significant, living writers in lesbian fiction, every year. It was named for Alice B. Toklas, the partner of Gertrude Stein, and begun in 2004 by the now deceased Roberta "Sandy" Sandburg.

For authors who are not yet 'significant' (for example, have only published one lesbian book), there are the lesser Alice B Lavender Certificates. The main awards are a good place to look for reliably lesbian authors, while the certificates highlight recent authors and books worth reading.



Note: where we have reviewed an author on the site, their name links to everything tagged under that author.
