The Lambda Literary Award for Gay Memoir/Biography is an annual literary award, presented by the Lambda Literary Foundation, to a memoir, biography, autobiography, or works of creative nonfiction by or about gay men. Works published posthumously and/or written with co-authors are eligible, but anthologies are not.
Between 1994 and 2000, the award was given for gay biography/autobiography. From 2002âÂÂ2006, there was no gay biography/autobiography category (and also no lesbian biography/autobiography category) but rather separate categories for biography and for autobiography/memoir. In 2007, the gay memoir/biography category was created (as was the lesbian memoir/biography category).
