For eight years, Engine Books has run its full operation as a sole-proprietorship organization, with funding reliant on book sales, which don't generate nearly enough income to cover expenses, and Victoria Barrett's out-of-pocket funding. Now, we're excited to report that Engine Books is joining a brand new tax exempt organization, Engine Books Literary Works, to help provide public support and budetary stabilization to the press.
As part of this change, we will also begin offering classes and workshops about the publishing industry, as soon as funding for the education program becomes available. We also plan to build a full-time staff of three, rent an office, expand our output, and generally professionalize operations. Your financial support will enable us to continue to make Engine Books bigger and better in the future.
