2025 Lambda Literary Award Winners

Alongside the 26 Lammys categories, 8 special prizes were awarded in the week leading up to the ceremony and included the addition of the inaugural Karla Jay Prize for Emerging Writers in Gender and Sexuality Studies.

A recording of the virtual ceremony will be provided on Lambda’s YouTube channel soon. In the meantime, you can pick up any of the winning books you haven’t read on our curated list at Bookshop.org, where your purchases benefit Lambda Literary.
