Alison Bechdel Brings Fun Home Art to Lambdas

Graphic novelist Alison Bechdel is up for two Lambda Literary Awards next week, as her illustrated memoir Fun Home is a finalist in both the lesbian memoir/biography and arts and culture categories. But however the voting turns out, she’ll be a winner in the eyes of the Lambda Literary Foundation for donating a unique tritpych based on original artwork from the book to raise funds for the awards, and also for a foundation-sponsored writer’s retreat. The piece will be given away during a raffle at the Lambda ceremonies on May 31, but would-be collectors can order tickets online ($20 for one, $50 for three) and need not be present to win.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
