We want YOUR manuscripts!! 📢

If you're a writer or translator, we want to hear from you! We're currently reviewing book-length prose and poetry submissions. We're interested in pretty much everything. The weirder it is, the more likely we are to publish it!

calling all literary translators - does anyone want to talk to me (on the record) about their gendered experience of **working as a translator** including e.g. the pay gap and the motherhood penalty?

Some of my editorial work comes via Reedsy. Over the past year it's become completely overrun by people (I can't call them authors) who are asking for editorial help on manuscripts that have been generated by #AI. Often, what they want is for someone to make the text sound more human.
