Big news: A Family by Any Other Name is a finalist in the LGBT anthology category of the 27th annual Lambda Literary Awards! For those who are unaware, the Lammys, as they’re affectionately known, are the preeminent awards for LGBT and queer literature. As Quill and Quire reported, I’m one of 16 Canadians up for a prize (and by I, in this case, I of course mean my 21 amazing contributors, without whom there would be no book).

Winners will be announced at a ceremony in New York City on June 1.
