Cover of Mariana Travacio's All That Dies in April
It's finally here! My first book translation, co-translated with the brilliant @samanthaschnee.bsky.social, is out today from @worldedbooks.bsky.social. I fell in love with @marianatravacio.bsky.social's writing in early 2020, and I'm so happy to share it now in English. tinyurl.com/4uvpn2jx
This comes out tomorrow!! I can't wait for everyone to finally be able to meet Lina and Relicario (and his donkey) in English. Many thanks to @literaryhub.bsky.social for the space!

Hi!
I'll email you!
We've added lots of great translation and global lit-centric presses and mags to this list since last week! If you think we've missed something, let us know! go.bsky.app/RPkPdAM
I'm trying to build a feed that highlights the diverse voices in the literary world, particularly those involved in literary translation (all language combinations).
So, #literarytranslators out there, help me complete this #starterpack and let me know if you'd like to be added.

Oh weird, I'll look into the footer issue. Glad it worked in the end.

Thanks!
