So thrilled to see an entire chapter on Translators Aloud in TRANSLATION AS ADVOCACY, out soon from John Murray Press! A million thanks to Katie Brown.

very frustrating when you know that a press that gets a lot of acclaim/prizes for publishing great work behaves incredibly badly behind the scenes towards its translators 😤

Translators Aloud's NBG playlist has 9,800 views of 58 readings

Many thanks to all #translators who have taken the time to read for the channel! What a stellar selection to browse!

Just as we’re starting to get somewhere in convincing people that literary translation is an art that we also derive pleasure from, we’re about to hit ‘can you just edit this mess?’
