Today the Lambda Literary Foundation launched a literary website and
community for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered readers and
authors--Lambda Literary.
The website was built in six weeks by an international team of
designers living in New York, Los Angeles, and British Columbia. It
will publish new material, interviews, stories, reviews, and aggregate
links from around the literary Internets. The site opened with a
variety of content, including Is There, or Should There Be, Such a
Thing as 'Trans Lit?'" by Cheryl Morgan and a new column about "news
and noteworthy tidbits from the LGBT writing and publishing community"
by John Morgan Wilson.
The entire release follows after the jump. Lambda Literary Foundation
board member Nicola Griffith had this statement: "We're here; we're
queer; we read. And on March 1st, we'll be even more visible to the
world and to each other ... We're a community that loves books. We
need books. All kinds of books: yaoi and high lit, graphic novels and
celebrity tell-alls, heart-wrenching memoir and YA fantasy. We read to
save our lives. We write, we edit. We publish, distribute, review,
sell, advertise, lend, and buy. And Lambda Literary will now be home
for the whole of the brilliantly diverse community that creates and
supports our literature."
