Sign In — Free (10 views/day)Aunt Lute Foundation, founded in 1982, is a small nonprofit in the Unknown sector that reported $237K in total revenue in fiscal year 2024. Revenue fell 20% from the prior year — a significant decline worth monitoring. Expenses of $304K exceeded revenue, resulting in a 28% operating deficit.
The major work continues to be the publication of books by marginalized writers. Another part of our mission is to produce events for our authors that increase their connection to their communities and to make their work known there. We also produce in-person and virtual events to access a larger national audience which we record with closed captions and make available on You Tube
Translations and Permissions We continued to see steady revenue from permissions licensing and translation rights, including rights for Borderlands / La Frontera in Brazil, Cuba, and Korea.

Publications (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).
