The Publishing Triangle will give its Leadership Award to agent Frances Goldin–“a tireless advocate for her writers, for LGBT literature, and for progressive politics and the free exchange of ideas”–and its Bill Whitehead Award for Lifetime Achievement to Alison Bechdel.

To clarify Tuesday’s piece on the agency Russell & Volkening, Jesseca Salky at Hannigan Salky Getzler has represented Anne Tyler’s new works, and available rights on her older works, since May 2011.
