In this nuts-and-bolts three-hour class, you'll learn about the lifecycle of a book translation, from the idea stage to the rights arrangement, to finding a publisher and signing a contract, to marketing the book.
We'll also talk about self-publishing, translating books in the public domain, and submitting translations to literary journals.
For many would-be book translators, doing the translation is the easy part: this class will allow you to confidently approach the not-so-easy, business-related parts of the book translation equation, and to anticipate how a book translation can go wrong.
Open to translators who want to translate fiction, non-fiction, poetry, textbooks, or any other literary media.
