Would anyone with a Bookseller subscription be willing to send me a screenshot/photo of the July fiction preview from the 10th of April edition? I think I make an appearance! #literarytranslation

A very helpful article for any other community hosts considering the move: https://t.co/PzGn43v30L

Seriously considering moving FELT (@FELTTranslators) over from Slack to Discord now that Slack will be deleting content over a year old, especially now I've discovered you can transfer your archive over. Thoughts for or against very welcome!

Also no more requirement for italics on non-English words used by multilingual authors/narrators/characters!

Great to see @ChicagoManual advocating for putting translators on the cover in the new edition! #NameTheTranslator

@tinakover @EuropaEditions @DLPeacePrize Chapeau!

[Lisa Sinclair @lisaeditorial]

Just submitted my first full-length book translation to the publisher! Announcement coming soon. Now nobody ask me to make any decisions for at least a week because I just made 60,000 in a row 🛌

Really enjoyed this brilliant adaptation of Kim Thúy’s ‘Ru’ for the screen, though it has cemented my need for a badge reading ‘I’m okay, I’ve just seen a sad film’ to wear on the way home from the cinema

@libripotens Ooh I like the term 'hope labour', going to read into that now!

An immensely useful and empowering resource! Thanks so much for the mention @anam_translates and @Nadiyah_FA. "There is power in the collective"💪✨

Maggie Zebracka: On (In)Visibility - My translation doesn’t want to wear white to someone else’s wedding, but it does want to throw its own party, in its own house. It wants a version of linguistic hospitality, the chance to play host. https://t.co/qAsmnKlmK3

Trying out a therapeutic version of rejection erasure poetry

@FELTTranslators Oops, the link should be https://t.co/sOpCWKlrt6!

[Lisa Sinclair @lisaeditorial]

I’ve started a new Slack community for French-to-English literary translators: FELT (@FELTTranslators)! I hope it’ll be somewhere we can share tips and opportunities, vent and exchange drafts for feedback. Visit https://t.co/NfamNpGjcp for an invite link and get involved!

Just got to add my name to the credits of a documentary as one of the translators! Watch this space for the screenshot/photo of it in the finished version when it comes out (I may get T-shirts made)

Editing in Microsoft Word increasingly feels like doing a group project with a drunk colleague

[Lisa Sinclair @lisaeditorial]

The English translation of Marcel Proust's Seventy-Five Folios (thought to be lost until they were rediscovered in 2018) is out today from Belknap Press. I had the pleasure of copy-editing it and Sam Taylor's translation is a joy to read!
