"My" first book is coming out in August (plug, plug), and with a little experience under my belt I'd like to see what topics come up here.

Edwin Miles

I've translated two books of poetry and working on a third. Also editing an anthology of translated poetry.

Yvette Neisser Moreno

I'm translating a book of my choice, out of passion. I'm also a literary writer in my target language. It would be extremely beneficial for me to learn from more experienced literary translators.

I'm new in the international market, and would like to find out what it looks like.
