Readers' award for her body of work and is also the president of Bold
Strokes Books, one of the world’s largest independent LGBT publishing
companies.
She states, “I began
reading lesbian fiction at the age of twelve when I found a copy of Ann
Bannon ’s Beebo Brinker. That book and others like it convinced me
that I was not alone, that there were other women who felt like I did. Our
literature provides support and validation and very often, a lifeline, for
members of our community throughout the world. I am proud and honored to
be able to publish the many fine authors at Bold Strokes Books and to
contribute in some small way to the words that celebrate our lives.”
Radclyffe lives
with her partner, Lee, in New York state.

I cannot overemphasize the
importance of these excellent beta readers who selflessly volunteer
endless hours to encourage me personally, read works-in-progress for
errors, omissions, and missed opportunities, and make each work a
better story by being a part of its creation. Thank you Tomboy,
Connie, Diane, Jane, JB, Paula, RB, and Eva. Each of you offers a different perspective
and provides unique insight and aid--and each of you has left a mark on
every page. I not only wouldn't want to do this without you--I'm not
sure I could. Words cannot do justice to my appreciation.
The loyal members of the
Radclyffe-Writing Yahoo group are a tremendous source of
inspiration and encouragement, and I will be ever grateful for their
support.

Also, and most especially, Lee, who

forever.
