Miscellaneous writing & translation person. No longer on Twitter.

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

I’m going to be off Twitter after today.

I will keep this account live so that I can still be DM’d if you need something and can't reach me any other way, but won’t be using it otherwise.

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

I don't know why I wrote "so far", though. Surely now is when I get to retire? It would mean I couldn't then get the 2033 prize @mervatim promised me, but you can't have everything.

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

Thank you for the lovely tweets, calls & messages about this. And thank you to the great @wwborders for the honor. But mostly, thank you to those many friends with whom I've collaborated on these things, all of whose work enabled all of mine. Very proud of what we've done so far.

@wwborders Spelling of "honor" is in deference to @wwborders house style.

(Also my original tweet was one character too long.)

[SALT: South Asian Literature in Translation @SALTatChicago]

We are delighted to introduce you to our ambitious new multi-year project to promote South Asian literature in English translation.

From July 2023, the SALT Project will support translators and publishers at each stage of the publishing chain.

Popping back on Twitter this morning after 18 months away.

All seems totally fine and normal.

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@Mat_at_Brookes Yep, all OK! Will see you on Fb, and hopefully also in the world soon.

@TomMorganJones "Or is it . . . au revoir?"
"No, Perkins."

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@robertsharp59 There: have a final one for old time’s sake.

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@jonesgarethp What a treat! I can’t wait.

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@charlesbeckett Thanks, Charles - too early to say that I can recommend it, but I confidently guessing that I will...

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@Damian_Barr Such things I have to look forward to...

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

Hope to see many of you somewhere three-dimensional before too long. Currently making many travel plans (all over the U.K. in June, and beyond - Paris, Greece, etc. - as soon thereafter as seems responsible), in order to do just that. Keep well meantime.

@Joannechocolat (Have been meaning to escape for several months but wanted to get this translation diary finished first, so I could spread the word as it developed. But free, as of today!)

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@Joannechocolat Thanks, Joanne. Yes, all fine, and expecting to be even better when no longer on here. Look forward to seeing you in the real world soon.

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@AngelGurriaQ @CharcoPress Thanks, Ángel. So am I!

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@MelanieJFlorenc @botsford_cla @MarinaSofia8 @bcltuea Thanks - yes, I haven't been able to get it working from here for some reason, but the site seems fine.

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

We're now recruiting for the next two dates (14 September & 12 October) in our series of one-day online workshops in literary translation, in association with @bcltuea.

@PiersTorday @questingvole @HachetteKids ... the latest thrilling instalment by the award-winning author of "The Penultimate Wild" and "The Antepenultimate Wild" ...

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@Prangman7 @garymichael02 It's a miracle no mainstream Anglophone publisher has picked this one up yet.

[Daniel Hahn @danielhahn02]

@sawadhussain @mlynxqualey Not public yet, but just messaged you details...
