[Griffith Review @GriffithReview]

Ahead of NAIDOC Week, we're unlocking Marcia Langton's powerful essay from Griffith Review 60: First Things First: a piece that addresses the ongoing impacts of violence against women in Indigenous communities and offers a sense of hope for the future.

It's the season of readings accompanied by warm tea 😌

[Maria Cristina @devicentecapua]

Thank you @eb_bry, this is the best possible birthday present. I am so excited to read it!!!

[Maria Cristina @devicentecapua]

@emmarubenwrites I absolutely love taking off on an airplane! There's something so magical about the tug on your stomach before you're in the air!

[Maria Cristina @devicentecapua]

Somehow I had never been hacked and in the last week it's happened three times.... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

.@EvelynAraluen calls for the urgent necessity of proper funding for the arts: “Our arts sector is punching well above its weight for mutual aid, advocacy for human rights, and the environment, and as a voice for fundamental human dignity.” #2022StellaPrize

I finally downloaded Twitter again.... Mostly so I could blab about my excitement while I research.

(Soup is the best study companion, no one will manage to convince me otherwise.... Except if they dangle tea in front of me)

This thorough article is well worth a look! Most of these translations don't appear in AustLit (AustLit's scope includes works by Australians translated here or elsewhere, but not currently translations of international authors by Australian translators) so we were fascinated!

An article I co-authored with Maria Cristina de Vicente Capua (@devicentecapua), 'Publishing Translated Books for Young Readers in Australia', is now available in PUBLISHING RESEARCH QUARTERLY. You can get free access to a full-text, view-only version: https://t.co/vMJwrlJxBf

✨✨Hey all!✨✨

With the end of the first (hectic) semester of 2020, we release into the world our first edition of the year!

Our feature article for this issue touches upon intergenerational conflict and coming together as a society.

So, #PublishingPaidMe is pretty extraordinary to read through as an Australian in our publishing industry. We do not have that kind of money circulating here, and *especially* not in youth literature. Wow.

[Per Henningsgaard @henningsgaard]

Do any of my fellow scholars of publishing studies know of any research that has been done about the publication of books in translation in Australia? @EmmettStinson @Beth_driscoll @Millicent_Weber @sybilthefirst @ImpossibleBeast @KimberleyTweets @meg_vann @JocHargrave @JodiMcA

If you cannot donate, amplify/volunteer.

If you are heartsick over racism & injustice, let it manifest action, work towards justice, however you can manage. God keep you safe.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

No patriotic American should brandish or proudly celebrate the iconography of a rebellion that resulted in tremendous devastation, the loss of more than 620,000 American lives, and the continued subjugation of Black America.

[James Foley @Jamesfoleybooks]

I’ve been thinking about how COVID-19 is going to affect Aussie children’s authors & illustrators. @SydWritersFest is cancelled, and I imagine a lot of our school visits are at risk this year (which are a big source of our income). (THREAD) #supportOzkidlit

[Per Henningsgaard @henningsgaard]

I'm seeking examples of children's and YA books originally published outside of Australia in a language other than English, and then translated into English and published in Australia. Anyone?!

Yesterday I was on the freeway. In my rearview mirror I saw billows of smoke coming from Yanchep. Straight ahead there were plumes from Armadale. Sydney isn't the only capital on fire.
