The 2019 BC Book Prizes shortlists have been announced, and this year's finalists include our own Amber Dawn's Sodom Road Exit, Lindsay Wong's The Woo-Woo, and Eve Lazarus' Murder by Milkshake!

We're excited to have four Arsenal books on the Globe and Mail's prestigious "Globe 100" list of the best books of 2018: Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead, Little Fish by Casey Plett, Sodom Road Exit by Amber Dawn, and The Woo-Woo by Lindsay Wong!

Autostraddle has released its list of 30 new queer and feminist books to get excited about this fall, and it includes two of our own: Hustling Verse: An Anthology of Sex Workers' Poetry and I Hope We Choose Love.

Four Arsenal titles appear on Autostraddle's list of the best queer books of 2019: Vivek Shraya and Ness Lee's Death Threat, Kai Cheng Thom's I Hope We Choose Love, Amber Dawn and Justin Ducharme's Hustling Verse, and Arielle Twist's Disintegrate/Dissociate!

We're thrilled that three of our titles have been named finalists for the Lambda Literary Awards: Death Threat by Vivek Shraya and Ness Lee; Hustling Verse: An Anthology of Sex Workers' Poetry, edited by Amber Dawn and Justin Ducharme; and Scorpio Rising: A Queer Film Classic by R. L. Cagle.

UPDATE (March 12/20): Due to health concerns over the Corornavirus, the Growing Room festival has been cancelled.

We're excited and proud that five Arsenal books have been nominated for Lambda Literary Awards, the preeminent writing prize for LGBTQ authors: Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead, Little Fish by Casey Plett, Sketchtasy by Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, Sodom Road Exit by Amber Dawn, and The Tiger Flu by Larissa Lai.

A number of Arsenal authors will be present at Growing Room: A Feminist Literary Festival, which takes place in Vancouver between March 8 and 17, 2019.

Books by Ivan Coyote, Tea Mutonji, Kai Cheng Thom, and Arielle Twist, as well as an anthology edited by Amber Dawn and Justin Ducharme, appear on the recommended reading lists of several of our favourite authors, presented by the Writers' Trust of Canada.
