With funds from CAC, Aunt Lute will produce 2 literary symposia for people of color in the Bay and Los Angeles Areas. Our intent is that PoC participants will see themselves represented in the contemporary literary landscape, gain writing tools, learn how to navigate the literary space, and forge a local, cross-cultural, writing network. We will partner with the collective POC United in order to bring the work and ideas of writers of color to the underserved communities that benefit from them.
Aunt Lute publishes 3-4 new titles a year, provides editorial support, and promotes authors through extensive programming, leveraging the power of literature to manifest connection. Our programming includes readings, workshops, and conferences, providing writing, publication, and promotional skills as well as representation on the literary stage.
