IN OUR NINETEEN YEARS, WE HAVE BROUGHT OUT MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY BOOKS FROM MORE THAN THIRTY-FIVE LANGUAGES.ARTISTIC EXCHANGE BETWEEN CULTURES IS A CRUCIAL ASPECT OF GLOBAL UNDERSTANDING. IT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT FOR VOICES FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO BE HEARD IN THIS COUNTRY-OUR PLACE IN THE WORLD DEPENDS UPON IT. SADLY, LESS THAN THREE PERCENT OF NEW LITERATURE PUBLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES ORIGINATES OUTSIDE THE ANGLOSPHERE. BY PUBLISHING DIVERSE AND INNOVATIVE LITERARY TRANSLATIONS WE ARE DOING WHAT WE CAN TO CHANGE THIS LAMENTABLE CIRCUMSTANCE AND TO BROADEN THE AMERICAN LITERARY LANDSCAPE. 0 0 565761 146651 THE CRITICAL RECEPTION AND READER RESPONSE TO OUR BOOKS CONTINUED TO BE POSITIVE, WITH REVIEWS IN THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, HARPER'S MAGAZINE, THE LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS, WORLD LITERATURE TODAY, THE TLS, KIRKUS REVIEWS, LIBRARY JOURNAL, AMONG MANY OTHER PUBLICATIONS. OVER THE COURSE OF 2022 WE PUBLISHED 13 NEW TITLES: DISTANT TRANSIT BY MAJA HADERLAP, TRANSLATED FROM GERMAN BY TESS LEWIS; BLAZE AND THE CASTLE CAKE FOR BERTHA DAY BY CLAUDE PONTI, TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH BY ALYSON WATERS & MARGOT KERLIDOU (ELSEWHERE); SALKA VALKA BY HALLDR LAXNESS, TRANSLATED FROM ICELANDIC BY PHILIP ROUGHTON; MOLDY STRAWBERRIES BY CAIO FERNANDO ABREU, TRANSLATED FROM PORTUGUESE BY BRUNA DANTAS LOBATO; A POSTCARD FOR ANNIE BY IDA JESSEN, TRANSLATED FROM DANISH BY MARTIN AITKEN; WHAT FEELINGS DO WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING BY TINA OZIEWICZ, ILLUSTRATED BY ALEKSANDRA ZAJ?C AND TRANSLATED FROM POLISH BY JENNIFER CROFT (ELSEWHERE); BRENNER BY HERMANN BURGER, TRANSLATED FROM GERMAN BY ADRIAN NATHAN WEST; TI AMO BY HANNE RSTAVIK, TRANSLATED FROM NORWEGIAN BY MARTIN AITKEN (NAMED A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR), KIBOGO BY SCHOLASTIQUE MUKASONGA, TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH BY MARK POLIZZOTTI, JOO BY A THREAD BY ROGER MELLO, TRANSLATED FROM PORTUGUESE BY DANIEL HAHN (ELSEWHERE); THE LAST DAYS OF TERRANOVA BY MANUEL RIVAS, TRANSLATED FROM GALICIAN BY JACOB ROGERS; DAWN BY SEVGI SOYSAL, TRANSLATED FROM TURKISH BY MAUREEN FREELEY; AND THE LAST POMEGRANATE TREE BY BACHTYAR ALI, TRANSLATED FROM KURDISH BY KAREEM ABDULRAHMAN. WE REPRINTED FOUR TITLES: JOB BY JOSEPH ROTH, TRANSLATED BY ROSS BENJAMIN; PAN TADEUSZ BY ADAM MICKIEWICZ, TRANSLATED BY BILL JOHNSTON; JOURNAL OF AN EVERYDAY GRIEF (TRANSLATED BY JEFFREY SACKS) AND IN THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE (TRANSLATED BY SINAN ANTOON) BOTH BY MAHMOUD DARWISH.WE AIM TO REACH A WIDE ARRAY OF READERS: LOVERS OF LITERATURE, EDUCATORS, STUDENTS, TRANSLATORS, IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES, ACTIVISTS, YOUNG READERS, PRISON POPULATIONS, AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN EXPLORING OTHER CULTURES. OUR BOOKS AND EVENTS ILLUMINATE VOICES ON THE MARGINS BY PRESENTING A DIVERSE, FAR-REACHING STORIES (IN TERMS OF RACE, GENDER, AND QUEER REPRESENTATION) TO AN EVER-GROWING, SIMILARLY DIVERSE AUDIENCE. READINGS (IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL) WITH OUR AUTHORS, TRANSLATORS, AND A VARIETY OF INTERLOCUTORS (INCLUDING MERVE EMRE, ALEXANDRA KLEEMAN & ANDREA LAWLOR, EDMUND WHITE, AMONG OTHERS), OFFERED OUR READERS ACCESS TO A DIVERSE RANGE OF LITERARY TRADITIONS. WE DISTRIBUTED 300 TO 400 ADVANCE READING COPIES OF EACH TITLE TO BOOKSELLERS, CRITICS, LIBRARIANS, BLOGGERS, RADIO PRODUCERS, AND WRITERS. WE ALSO SOLICITED ENDORSEMENTS FOR EVERY BOOK, HANDPICKING WRITERS WHOSE NAMES WERE MOST RELEVANT TO THE AUDIENCE WE BELIEVED THE BOOK WOULD APPEAL TO MOST. OUR MARKETING BUDGET ALSO INCLUDED THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF 8000 PRINT CATALOGS. WE DONATED 300 BOOKS TO PRISON PROGRAMS AND 200 BOOKS TO BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS.IN 2022, BOOK SALES WERE STRONG, PARTICULARLY FOR LAXNESS'S SALKA VALKA, OZIEWICZ AND ZAJ?C'S WHAT FEELINGS DO, AND MUKASONGA'S KIBOGO. WHILE OUR DISTRIBUTORS TAKE 30%, THESE STEADY SALES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ALLOWED THE PRESS TO FIND FINANCIAL FOOTING IN THIS CHALLENGING PUBLISHING LANDSCAPE, WHICH IS STILL FEELING THE PAIN OF SUPPLY-CHAIN REALITIES. IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO KEEP ALL OF OUR BACKLIST IN PRINT. THE COST OF PAPER AND PRODUCTION CONTINUES TO RISE (BY ABOUT 45% OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS). LANNAN FOUNDATION, ONE OF OUR MOST COMMITTED FUNDERS, HAS ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL BE CLOSING ITS DOORS, SO WE ARE CONTINUING TO BROADEN OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS (BY SEEKING NEW FOUNDATION SUPPORT AND REACHING OUT TO NEW POTENTIAL DONORS) WITH ENERGY AND CREATIVITY. THE PRESS IS IN GOOD FINANCIAL HEALTH, WITH SALES ON THE RISE AND A STRONG PRESS COVERAGE AND OUR GROWING MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM, BUT STEEP PRINTING AND SHIPPING COSTS ALONG WITH INFLATION MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO EXPAND OUR STAFF (AND OFFER OUR CORE STAFF PAY RAISES), TAKE ON NEW INITIATIVES, COVER THE EXPENSES OF REPRINTS, OR ESTABLISH A CASH RESERVE FOR THE FUTURE. 565761 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 26 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 NY X JILL SCHOOLMAN 9174396184 232 3RD STREET BROOKLYN NY 11215 MATTHEW BROGAN PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 FLORENCE LUI VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVE HAAN TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PETER VON ZIEGESAR SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JILL SCHOOLMAN PUBLISHER/BOARD MEMBER 40.00 X X 65333 0 0 GEORGE GIBSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 VIOLAINE HUISMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LUDOVIC TIAKO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LESLIE MASLOW' BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TESS LEWIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN BASKIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID DEAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISABETH DURING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 EDWIN FRANK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BREON MITCHELL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICK MOODY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GEOFFREY O'BRIEN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 65333 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31574 126895 503299 661768 MEMBERSHIP INCOME 900099 63379 63379 63379 63858 63858 6254 31574 6254 0 367605 284333 83272 83272 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 319 319 319 872596 146651 0 64177 65334 39200 13067 13067 184638 114704 34967 34967 37463 23065 7199 7199 15498 9542 2978 2978 21314 21314 34377 34377 33653 33653 87785 84521 1632 1632 30267 30267 27201 16865 5168 5168 7152 7152 7743 513 7230 985 611 187 187 1748 1748 WAREHOUSE/DISTRIBUTION 161313 161313 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 20783 8230 10350 2203 737254 565761 96862 74631 19628 60133 5000 501 12048 6331 66272 94174 676879 706544 237700 283042 17422 16178 2229 1244 3920 52144 1023676 1204113 70773 59623 21764 29045 837 49801 93374 138469 X 875973 1040499 54329 25145 930302 1065644 1023676 1204113 135342 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 540674 503598 709711 710430 725147 3189560 493442 210296 178033 413559 367605 1662935 1034116 713894 887744 1123989 1092752 4852495 284807 183900 260682 255477 233022 1217888 0 284807 183900 260682 255477 233022 1217888 3634607 54276 38526 23356 25558 63858 205574 54276 38526 23356 25558 63858 205574 2151 2030 8017 633 319 13150 1090543 754450 919117 1150180 1156929 5071219 0.71670 0.80390 0.04050 0.04480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 17422 16178 1244 1244 SECURITY DEPOSITS HELD 837 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 48964 49801 ANNUAL GALA 37828 31574 6254 6254 37828 31574 6254 6254 6254 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 8B THERE ARE NO COMMITTEES WITH THE AUTHORITY TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
