Bisexual Book Awards

The Bisexual Book Awards are an annual literary award program, presented by the Bi Writers Association to honour the year's best works of literature addressing themes of bisexuality.[1] The awards were presented for the first time in 2013.[2]

Awards are presented in 11 categories, where any writer who has addressed bisexual themes in their work may be submitted for consideration regardless of their own sexual orientation. Two special awards are also presented: the Bi Book Publisher Award to the publishing company that has submitted the most books to the awards program that year, and the Bi Writer Award for the best book by an out bisexual writer.
