Stonewall Book Award

The Stonewall Book Award is a set of three literary awards that annually recognize "exceptional merit relating to the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender experience" in English-language books published in the U.S.<ref name="stonewall"/> They are sponsored by the Rainbow Round Table (RRT) of the American Library Association (ALA) and have been part of the American Library Association awards program, now termed ALA Book, Print & Media Awards, since 1986 as the single Gay Book Award.<ref name="history"/><ref name="ALAawards"/>

The three award categories are fiction and nonfiction in books for adults, distinguished in 1990, and books for children or young adults, from 2010. The awards are named for Barbara Gittings, Israel Fishman, and (jointly) Mike Morgan and Larry Romans. In full they are the Stonewall Book Award-Barbara Gittings Literature Award, the Stonewall Book Award-Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Award, and the Stonewall Book Awards – Mike Morgan & Larry Romans Children's & Young Adult Literature Award.<ref name="stonewall"/>

Finalists have been designated from 1990, and termed "Honor Books" from 2001.<ref name="list"/> Currently a panel of librarians selects five finalists in each award category and subsequently selects one winner.<ref name="history"/> The winners are announced in January and each receives a plaque and $1000 cash prize during the ALA Annual Conference in June or July.<ref name="stonewall"/> Winners are expected to attend and to give acceptance speeches.<ref name="about1"/>

The ALA solicits book suggestions each to be accompanied by a brief statement in favor of the book.<ref name="stonewall"/> Anyone may suggest a title for consideration. However, the publisher of a proposed title, agents or representatives of the author, or anyone else who may stand to gain directly from the nomination of the book should disclose this information via the online form.<ref name="about1"/>

Eligible books should be original works published in the U.S. and Canada during the preceding year, including "substantially changed new editions" and "English-language translations of foreign-language books".<ref name="about1"/>

History

The Gay Book Award was inaugurated in 1971 at the ALA annual meeting in Dallas, by the newly created Task Force on Gay Liberation (TFGL)<ref name=":6">Template:Cite journal</ref> The ceremony, attended by only 9 people,<ref name=":6" /> recognized Patience and Sarah, a historical novel by Alma Routsong (writing as Isabel Miller), which had been self-published by Routsong in 1969. A "grassroots acknowledgment" of GLBT publishing, there were "only a handful" of books to consider annually. The ALA officially started granting the award in 1986, and by 1995, there were more than 800 books considered for the award.<ref name="history"/>

In 2002, the awards, then two, were jointly named after the site of the 1969 Stonewall riots as well as two of the founding members of the TFGL, Barbara Gittings and Israel Fishman. <ref name="history"/>
