How Do I Sexy? A Guide For Trans and Nonbinary Queers by Mx. Nillin Lore has been named a Gold winner in the LGBTQ+ category of the 27th annual Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards.
The winning title is a practical and insightful consideration of what it means to be sexual as a trans, queer person, providing Nillin’s affirming direction based on over a decade of their own personal and professional experience as an educator, advocate, support worker and award-winning sex blogger. It is the Saskatoon, SK-based author’s first book.
Publisher of Thornapple Press Eve Rickert says, “At a time when the dialogue around trans rights and queer visibility is heightened, How Do I Sexy? is a valuable resource. We are thrilled that it has received this recognition from Foreword Reviews.”
Foreword Reviews, a book review journal focusing on independently published books, announced the winners of its INDIES Book of the Year Awards on June 5, 2025. These awards celebrate the outstanding books published in 2024 by small, independent and university presses.
