This is a list of Otherwise Award winners that are novels, including the retrospective winners in 1996. The Otherwise Award is a judged award for "science fiction or fantasy that expands or explores our understanding of gender."
There are no winner listed for 2019 and 2021 because the winners in those years were a short stories ("They Will Dream in the Garden" by Gabriela Damián Miravete and "Ife-Iyoku, the Tale of Imadeyunuagbon" by Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki).
The date given on this page is the year that the award was given, since I standardize all awards to the year of the award. It will therefore be one year later than the official date on the award, which reflects publication date (except for the retrospective awards).
This award used to be called the James Tiptree, Jr. Award, named after Alice B. Sheldon, who wrote for years under the pseudonym James Tiptree, Jr. It was renamed to the Otherwise Award in 2019.
