IN OUR TWENTY-ONE YEARS, WE HAVE BROUGHT OUT MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE BOOKS FROM MORE THAN FORTY 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 714605 261705 THE CRITICAL RECEPTION AND READER RESPONSE TO ARCHIPELAGO'S 2024 BOOKS WAS POSITIVE, WITH REVIEWS IN THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST, HARPER'S MAGAZINE, THE ATLANTIC, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, WORLD LITERATURE TODAY, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, AMONG OTHER PROMINENT PUBLICATIONS.

WE REPRINTED FOURTEEN TITLES. WE CONTINUE TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP ALL OF OUR BOOKS IN PRINT, CONSIDERING EACH ONE A CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC. FOR EACH TITLE ARCHIPELAGO PUBLISHED LAST YEAR, WE PRINTED 200-400 ADVANCE REVIEW COPIES TO SEND TO REVIEWERS, EDITORS, BOOKSELLERS, WRITERS, PROFESSORS, BLOGGERS, READING GROUPS, AND LIBRARIANS. WE TAILOR THESE LISTS TO EACH BOOK TO ENSURE THAT EVERY PUBLICATION HAS A CHANCE TO REACH READERS WHO ARE MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND TO, DISCUSS, AND APPRECIATE IT. WE ALSO SOLICIT ENDORSEMENTS FOR EVERY BOOK, HANDPICKING AUTHORS AND BOOKSELLERS WHO WE FEEL MIGHT RESPOND TO A PARTICULAR VOICE OR SUBJECT. OUR MARKETING BUDGET INCLUDES THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF 6000 PRINT CATALOGS. OUR BOOKS GARNERED SIGNIFICANT ATTENTION THIS YEAR, WITH REVIEWS IN THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE WASHINGTON POST, PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY, KIRKUS REVIEWS, THE ATLANTIC, TO NAME A FEW PUBLICATIONS. JUST TO SHARE A FEW RESPONSES TO THE BOOKS:"HERNNDEZ-PACHN'S WORDS AT TURNS CIRCLE, ALLUDE, DESCRIBE AND PULSE WITH THE EVENTS AND LEGACY OF THE MASSACRE AT EL SALADO. THIS BOOK IS STUNNING, PAINFUL, BEAUTIFUL, HORRIBLE, HUMAN AND FULL OF ABUNDANT, RICH, THROBBING LANGUAGE." -JESSICA RANKIN"THESE MEDITATIVE, MINUTELY-OBSERVED STORIES BRING BACK TO LIFE A KASHMIRI CULTURE THAT IS TRAGICALLY FADING INTO THE PAST. KAUL'S OBSERVATIONS OF EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE VALLEY HAVE A PARTICULAR POIGNANCY IN LIGHT OF HIS OWN DISPLACEMENT IN 1990. THE PERSONAL STRUGGLES OF HIS CHARACTERS TAKE PLACE AGAINST A BACKDROP OF POLITICAL TURMOIL, AND FOR NOW, IT IS NIGHT WILL BRING ENGLISH-SPEAKING READERS A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF KASHMIR, BEYOND THE HEADLINES." -HARI KUNZRU"MUKASONGA'S WRITING IS AS STRIKING FOR THE BRACING CLARITY AND DIRECTNESS OF HER SENTENCES AS FOR THE RESTLESSNESS OF ITS EXPERIMENTATIONS WITH GENRE . . . SISTER DEBORAH PRESSES ON QUESTIONS OF CULTURAL TRANSLATION, WHICH ARE ALSO MUKASONGA'S OWN: QUESTIONS OF FAITH AND SYNCRETISM BUT ALSO OF FAITHFULNESS TO ONE'S ORIGINS" -MARTA FIGLEROWICZ, THE PARIS REVIEW"THE ANIMAL TRANSFORMS IN EACH MESMERIZING SPREAD, APPEARING IN THE COLOR/STYLE OF THE NEW ART FORM: A PERSIAN BAS-RELIEF, ANCIENT GREEK VASE PAINTING, A TANG DYNASTY MURAL. MELLO TRUSTS VIEWERS TO MAKE THESE VISUAL LEAPS AS THE SHAPE-SHIFTER INTERACTS WITH HORNED WHALES, BUFFALO, AND, AT THE HEIGHT OF DANGER, A MEDIEVAL KNIGHT ON A HORSE WHOSE ARMORED HEAD BEARS A SPIKE... AN EVOCATIVE, ENCHANTING TALE OF THE QUEST FOR COMMUNITY." -KIRKUS REVIEWS"GIONO CALLS ON EVERY SENSE AS HE ASKS US TO IMAGINE THE MOST FABULOUS OF ENCOUNTERS-A WORLD WHERE SEA AND SKY, ANGELS AND MONSTERS, THE MUNDANE AND THE MIRACULOUS ARE ONE . . . FRAGMENTS OF A PARADISE IS SURELY ONE OF THE MOST STRANGELY BEAUTIFUL AND ORIGINAL WORKS OF THE POST-WAR ERA."- SUSAN STEWART 2024 WAS A STIMULATING, GRATIFYING, AND CHALLENGING ONE FOR THE PRESS. PRINTING AND PAPER COSTS HAVE NOT RETURNED TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS, WHICH AFFECTS OUR ABILITY TO PRINT QUANTITIES NEEDED FOR OUR FRONTLIST AND TO REPRINT OUR BACKLIST TITLES THAT CONTINUE TO SELL STEADILY. WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO FUNDRAISE CREATIVELY AND ENERGETICALLY, AND TO PLACE OUR BOOKS IN THE HANDS OF A WIDE ARRAY OF READERS. IT IS AN ONGOING CHALLENGE TO KEEP OUR BACKLIST IN BOOKSHOPS AND ON READERS' RADAR, HOWEVER RELEVANT AND NECESSARY THEY REMAIN. WE DO ACTIVELY PROMOTE OUR ENTIRE LIST OF 260 BOOKS AND OUR MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM HAS BEEN GROWING AS WE CONTINUE TO ATTRACT NEW COLLABORATORS AND PARTNERS.RECENTLY IN WORLD LITERATURE TODAY POET KIMIKO HAHN EXPRESSED, I AM GRATEFUL TO ARCHIPELAGO FOR THEIR ONGOING MISSION TO PUBLISH EXCELLENT BOOKS TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH." 714605 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 36 0 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 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 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 RICK MOODY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORRAINE GALLARD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ASSAL GHAWAMI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICKA KOHNSTAMM BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JILL SCHOOLMAN PUBLISHER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 66525 0 0 66525 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 39604 105913 550354 38350 695871 MEMBERSHIP INCOME 900099 74393 74393 74393 27917 27917 10100 39604 10100 0 653539 466227 187312 187312 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 1871 1871 1871 987364 261705 0 29788 66525 39915 13305 13305 220966 121080 49943 49943 3573 2001 786 786 39984 22391 8797 8796 22818 12778 5020 5020 54085 54085 25519 14644 5438 5437 38379 35744 10 2625 48242 45315 1464 1463 97436 97436 27264 15268 5998 5998 12150 12150 11606 7807 3799 2058 1152 453 453 1732 1732 WAREHOUSE/DISTRIBUTION 276392 276392 MISCELLANEOUS 30730 8800 14769 7161 979459 714605 160068 104786 31930 129097 501 24128 82078 15000 153627 149795 741062 807161 17170 6604 297 10566 28429 84848 1037924 1220595 120962 227037 22675 35521 24999 80844 168636 343402 X 800181 820313 69107 56880 869288 877193 1037924 1220595 7905 0 X 0 0 0 X 709711 710430 725147 767353 770264 3682905 178033 413559 367605 575146 653539 2187882 887744 1123989 1092752 1342499 1423803 5870787 260682 255477 233022 343793 288683 1381657 0 260682 255477 233022 343793 288683 1381657 4489130 23356 25558 63858 42325 27917 183014 23356 25558 63858 42325 27917 183014 8017 633 319 1962 1871 12802 919117 1150180 1156929 1386786 1453591 6066603 0.74000 0.72320 0.03020 0.03610 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6555 5130 1425 10615 1474 9141 10566 OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET 79908 SECURITY DEPOSIT 4940 84848 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 80844 80844 ANNUAL GALA 49704 39604 10100 10100 49704 39604 10100 10100 10100 0 X 2 38350 FAIR MARKET VALUE 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 8B WITHIN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE ORGANIZATIONS BYLAWS HAVE ESTABLISHED TWO COMMITTEES: A FINANCIAL COMMITTEE AND A GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE.
