We have exciting news about our longest-lasting award, the Bill Whitehead Award for Lifetime Achievement, which we will be presenting for the 32nd time. In previous years, the award alternated between a female-identified author and a male-identified author. However, starting now, Whitehead judges will consider authors who identify anywhere on the LGBTQ spectrum.

To nominate a candidate for this prize, follow this simple three-step process:

1. Send an e-mail to [email protected]
2. Title/heading of the e-mail should be “Whitehead Suggestion”
3. The body of the e-mail can just be the name of the writer. There’s no need for elaborate nominations or encomiums.
