We are on staff and we’re freelancers. We are editors\, agents\, and booksellers; we work in sub rights\, publicity\, sales\, design\, and production. Many of us are writers. We are also librarians\, teachers\, booksellers\, and even avid readers who don’t work in a publishing-related field. \nOur primary method of shining a much-needed light on queer books is through our awards program. We give out ten awards annually (at an awards ceremony\, usually in April at the New School in Manhattan)\, each with a cash prize of between $500 and $3000. Seven of these awards honor the best books published in the previous calendar year in nonfiction\, fiction\, poetry\, and trans/gender-variant literature. There is a lifetime achievement award and an emerging-writer award; and we also honor a book-industry figure each year (not a writer) with our leadership award. \nThrough our social media and our newsletter—as well as through readings\, social networking events\, and other programs in the New York City area—we strive to promote a sense of camaraderie in the queer literary community. \nMembership dues start at $40 a year for individuals (there are additional levels of membership for families and businesses). For more details\, see our membership page. \nIf you have additional questions about the Triangle and its programs\, please email us at info@publishingtriangle.org or write us at the address listed below. \n  \nThe Publishing Triangle \n511 Avenue of the Americas\, #D36 \nNew York\, NY 10011
