Description:
We thought – there’s no prize yet for gay men’s books in the UK. That’s a scandalous thought. There ought to be something that celebrates and publicizes the breadth and variety of their work. Writing by gay men can be funny, exciting, harrowing, uplifting and challenging – and it can range right across the genres. It can also be created by men from all classes and races. So here we are – this small panel – setting ourselves the somewhat daunting task of looking at what the queer fellas have brought out this year. There’s no prize money in this… Maybe a bit of kudos for the winner! There’s our love and devotion as well, of course – and a bit of shouting about the writing we love. Maybe one day we’ll get sponsorship or something. But we’re kicking off anyway, and we think it’ll be fun.
