Today is Giving Tuesday! In the spirit of generosity and giving back, here are three easy things you can do to help make Giving Tuesday 2015 a success:

1. DONATE. If you are able, please consider donating what you can to our press. Every single donation helps us continue to publish brilliant multicultural women's writings! One-time donations are deeply appreciated, but we'll be especially grateful if you choose to make a recurring donation (monthly, quarterly, or annually)!

2. PURCHASE OUR BOOKS. Our authors and their works are amazing, and books make excellent holiday gifts for your loved ones! Check out our most recent titles—Ire'ne Lara Silva's flesh to bone, and LeAnne Howe's Choctalking on Other Realities—or browse old favorites like the 4th edition of Gloria Anzladua's Borderlands/La Frontera. Get an automatic 20% discount when you order online at www.auntlute.com!

3. SPREAD THE WORD. Tell your friends, family and colleagues about Aunt Lute Books, and why they should consider donating to our press. Mention us on Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter using the hashtags ‪#‎GivingTuesday‬,‪#‎BayArea‬ and ‪#‎AuntLute‬.

4. TELL US WHY AUNT LUTE MATTERS TO YOU. We want to know why Aunt Lute is important to you! Tell us about your favorite title and we’ll feature it on our social media pages.

Give OUT Day is off to a fabulous start! So far, six donors have contributed $270, and we're only $230 from a matching grant for $500.

We have a little over 10 hours left to meet our total fundraising goal of $2,500. Every donation, tweet, facebook post, and tumblr post helps!

Give OUT Day 2014 is on May 15. There are three things you can do to help make Give OUT Day 2014 a success:

1. If you are able, please consider donating to our press. Our fundraising goal is $2,500, and an anonymous donor has generously committed to matching up to $500 of donations to Aunt Lute! In addition to this matching grant, Horizons, a Bay Area organization that works to increase giving in the LGBTQ community, will award prizes to Bay Area organizations that engage the most unique donors. Every donation counts, no matter the amount!

2. In anticipation of GiveOUT Day, and on the 15th of May, we'll be posting testimonials from those who have been moved by Aunt Lute or one of our titles. If you have a story, memory, or musing to share, please submit your testimonials to [email protected], and do let us know if you wish to remain anonymous.

3. If you are active on social media, please spread the word about Aunt Lute and Give OUT Day on  Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter using hashtags #GiveOUTDay, #BayArea and #AuntLute.

OMG guys, aunt lute just got a tumblr. And we'll be able to post on it all sorts of things, and repost your awesome things, YOU KNO. Please spread the word and follow it--tomorrow there's going to be a really sweet fat activist blog event to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our anthology Shadow on a Tightrope, and we'll be up and live after that as a real internet presence.
