Juno Dawson’s Proud, an anthology of stories and poetry by YA LGBTQ+ authors, was named Book of the Year at the Visionary Honours 2020, the UK’s first showbiz awards to celebrate diversity and inclusion in the arts, culture and entertainment industries.
On being nominated for the award, Juno said: ‘Proud is a diverse collection of voices from the LGBTQ+ community. I think the power of a book like Proud is in teenage readers being able to see a future for themselves. The world is waiting.’
