Disrupting the Markets: Publishing Translated Literature

  • Goodman Arts Centre 90 Goodman Road Block E 439053 Singapore (map)

Gain insight and advice on the ins and outs of publishing translated or Asian literature from the publisher of Tilted Axis Press.

In the UK translated literature is a growing market, however, European literatures remain the most translated in the industry. How can publishers, writers and translators from Southeast Asia disrupt the market?

Kristen Vida Alfaro from Tilted Axis Press will share insight, advice and experience on publishing translated literature. What are the challenges small presses face? How can emerging writers develop relationships with publishers? What constitutes the labour of translation?

Emerging writers and translators of Southeast Asian languages will gain insight into the process and challenges of publishing. Translators will also learn more about rights and resources that can help navigate the industry.

(Best for emerging translators and writers interested in getting their works translated into English.)
