IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Publications (2024) We proudly published two important new works in 2024: Keep A?Livin?, a novel tracing the coming-of-age of a Black teenager in 1960s Little Rock against the backdrop of the civil rights movement, and Doll Seed, a speculative short fiction collection spanning horror, fantasy, science fiction, and magical realism, with powerful explorations of women of color and outsider experiences. Transition to New Distributor In early 2024, Small Press Distribution (SPD) permanently closed. Aunt Lute successfully transitioned its book distribution and sales operations to Consortium Book Sales & Distribution. This move immediately strengthened our market position, offering wider national and international reach, superior fulfillment services, and robust library and bookstore distribution. We also leveraged Consortium?s print-on-demand services to reduce inventory risk while maintaining availability of all titles. Looking Ahead: Planned Publications for 2025?2026 Building on the success of our 2024 publishing year, Aunt Lute has already confirmed an exciting slate of titles for release: Caramelle & Carmilla (October 2025), the first volume in the Aunt Lute Colloquy Series. Forced by Circumstance by Norma Alarc?n (November 2025). El Mundo Zurdo 10 (November 2025), the companion collection to the 2025 Society for the Study of Gloria Anzald?a Conference. The Divining Season (March 2026).

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Event Programming and Community Engagement Early 2024 Literary Events Sonoma Community Writers Festival (April 4, 2024, In-Person) ? Aunt Lute Books participated in the inaugural Sonoma Community Writers Festival at Sonoma State University. This free evening festival (4?9 PM) featured a literary bazaar and a panel titled ?Demystifying Small Press Publishing,? where Aunt Lute?s team shared insights into independent publishing. Aunt Lute hosted a table to engage with the Bay Area literary community (answering questions and selling books) in line with the festival?s mission of networking and celebrating diverse voices. (Partnered with Sonoma State University?s English Department, Zaum literary magazine, and local lit organizations; free public event.) Third Place Books Author Talk ? Keep A?Livin? (April 9, 2024, In-Person) ? Seattle?s Third Place Books hosted Aunt Lute author Kathya Alexander for a reading and discussion of her debut novel-in-verse, Keep A?Livin?. Alexander spoke about her Civil-Rights-era coming-of-age tale and answered audience questions, followed by a public book signing. This Keep A?Livin? launch event was free and open to the public, with registration encouraged to anticipate attendance. The evening introduced Alexander?s work to readers in the Seattle community and was supported by Aunt Lute?s promotion of Keep A?Livin?. (Partner: Third Place Books, Seattle; outcome: community turnout for a debut author and increased visibility for the new release.) Lesbian Visibility Month Panel ? Columbus, OH (April 5, 2024, In-Person) ? Aunt Lute author Ginny Z. Berson (author of Olivia on the Record) appeared in a Lesbian Visibility Month event in Columbus. The program included a screening of the documentary Once a Fury ? profiling members of the 1970s lesbian feminist collective The Furies ? followed by a panel discussion with two of the collective?s original members, Ginny Berson and Sharon Deevey. They reflected on their time in The Furies and the impact of the collective?s writings on feminist and lesbian communities. This in-person event, sponsored by Lesbians Benefitting the Arts (LBA) and Stonewall Union, welcomed all on a sliding-scale admission. (Partners: LBA and Stonewall Union; outcome: community education and engagement around LGBTQ+ history.) Summer 2024 Workshops and Community Programming Virtual Writing Workshop ? ?Writing Towards Vision and Possibility? (June 1 & 8, 2024, Virtual via Zoom) ? Aunt Lute organized a two-day online writing workshop tailored for Black women and gender-expansive writers. Led by facilitator Kimberly Lee, the workshop provided inventive writing prompts, discussions, and restorative creative exercises to help participants ?celebrate our unique voices and perspectives while visioning into the future?. The curriculum drew inspiration from Black writers and cultural traditions, encouraging attendees to tune into ancestral wisdom and craft bold new narratives. Attendance was capped and application-based ? the deadline was extended due to high interest ? ensuring a dedicated cohort. Sessions ran 10 AM?12 PM Pacific on two Saturdays, and the workshop created a safe, empowering space to enhance craft and confidence in community. (Format: free virtual workshop; outcome: ~ a dozen emerging writers supported (no public attendance figures), demonstrating Aunt Lute?s community engagement mission.) Fall 2024 Book Launches and Literary Festivals ?Beyond Borderlands/La Frontera: The Legacy of Gloria Anzald?a? (Sept 26, 2024, In-Person) ? Aunt Lute Books co-presented a powerful evening honoring the vision of the late Gloria E. Anzald?a at UC Berkeley?s Latinx Research Center. Timed on what would have been Anzald?a?s 82nd birthday, this free public program featured a rich tapestry of activities: a poetry reading inspired by Anzald?a?s life and work, an altar installation commemorating her memory, and a panel discussion on her legacy. The panel brought together Anzald?a scholar AnaLouise Keating,
