The Lammys, as they're known, recognize the best lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender books of the previous year. The prizes are sponsored by the nonprofit Lambda Literary Foundation, a legacy of Washington's Lambda Rising Bookstore, which closed in 2010.

Winners of the Transgender categories:

TRANSGENDER FICTION: "Wanting in Arabic," by Trish Salah (TSAR).

TRANSGENDER NONFICTION: "The End of San Francisco," by Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore (City Lights).
