List of Gaylactic Spectrum Award winners and nominees for best novel

The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards are given to works of science fiction, fantasy and horror that explore LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender) topics in a positive way.

[1] Since their inception, awards have been given in categories for novels, short fiction, and best other work.

Works produced before the inception of the awards are eligible to be inducted into the "Hall of Fame".

A small cash stipend is awarded to winners in the Best Novel category.

The cost of the awards is met through individual donations and fundraising events.
