Very interesting article here by Loek about recent (significant) changes in the translation industry. He focuses here on one particular company, but the key points are more widely valid, too. Well worth a read.

Wrote a Ukrainian #book. Locals paused, so I translated ch1 and pitched Western agents.
One asked for full MS. I translated it in 3 months and sent.

Voice 1: What if first is reading? Voice 2: Anothers?
