Three Days of Literary Translation
Posted By: Chad Post

Tags: translation, Miami Book Fair, translators, publishing
As I mentioned earlier, I was fortunate enough to attend both The Translation Market at the Miami Book Fair and the American Literary Translators Association Conference last week.

I promised to blog about both of these events for PEN America and for Three Percent, but because all three days were chock full of interesting events, great conversations, long nights of eating and laughing (and drinking), I wasn't able to do this concurrently with the conferences.
To make up for this, over the rest of today (and tomorrow), I'll recap all of the panels I attended and other related stories and events. In short, both conferences were amazing. (It totally helps that they both took place where it was 80 and sunny . . . ) So, if you're interested in the state of translations among publishers, booksellers, and translators--and I assume you are if you're reading this blog--then stay tuned. I have a dozen posts lined up containing a ton of information, some comments and reflections, and a few funny anecdotes . . .
