Happy New Year

Happy new year! What are your translation goals for the upcoming year?

There is a wonderful Swedish novel that I think deserves to be published in English. I am working on translating an excerpt from it and I hope to see the excerpt published by the autumn. I also hope to work with the author on finding a publisher in the UK or the US, using this excerpt.

Anyone else?

I'd say one of our main goals is to try to squeeze in a one-weekend-a-month-without-computer. We really love what we do, but we are not always very good at completely getting away from it all -- even when we are traveling the world.

In addition, we want to invest even more time into mentoring your translators. :)We think it's fab that you are helping get more literature translated into English -- much needed!

That's definitely a worthy goal. Breaks help us work better, I've found!


Best wishes,
