LGBT literary award
The Ferro-Grumley Award is an annual
literary award , presented by
Publishing Triangle and the Ferro-Grumley Foundation to a book deemed the year's best work of
LGBT fiction. The award is presented in memory of writers
Robert Ferro and
Michael Grumley . It was co-founded in 1988 by Stephen Greco, who continues to direct it as of 2022.
First awarded in 1990, separate awards were presented for
gay and
lesbian fiction until 2008 when the awards were merged into a single award.
On two occasions, the award has been won by works that were not conventional literary fiction. In 1994, journalist
John Berendt won the award for his
non-fiction novel
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil , and in 2009, cartoonist
Alison Bechdel won the award for her
comic strip anthology
The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For .
