We look forward to August every year. It's Women in Translation Month (or #WiTMonth, if you're feeling... Twittery). Icon of the field Meytal Radzinski began the Women in Translation project in 2014, which you can read up on here: LINK.
Deep Vellum has been invested in publishing women in translation and women translators from the beginning. We've put together a few mini-bundles so you can sample the work we've championed. We are also offering a mega-pack of all translations from women authors around the world. Read 'em all, superfan.
Consider this the translation publishing version of a back-to-school sale; invest in women in translation now and read them all year long!
"We all know there are always excellent books that are untranslated. The books a publisher chooses to translate are exactly that – a choice. And many publishers have so far chosen without any acknowledgment of the huge imbalance they’re creating." -Meytal Radzinski
