It's about a cute but dystopian future where all the media is AI, but the protag is lured away from her safe, conforming life by a pirate who smuggles illicit human-written stories. Also it's neurodivergent and queer. Pub date is May 12, 2026. More here: tachyonpublications.com/product/igno...

Also if you are interested in building a portfolio, I would be happy to let you take a crack at a short story or two.

Thanks! The first place I'm going to look is @chronoscat.bsky.social and @annallis.bsky.social who translated the OUTSIDE trilogy - I don't think finding translators is really the problem, I just need to get the publisher on board to actually sell the rights to them, but I appreciate your interest!

(And if you are in Catalonia, sit tight - I am going to try *very hard* to get a translation deal for this one, but the publisher wants to wait until we've done the galleys before we discuss it in earnest. :) )

If you're further afield, I haven't looked into the specific options for every country yet, but check with your usual big retailer, or put in a request at your favorite local indie bookstore or library. Early interest makes such a big difference!

The illustrator is Elizabeth Story; she did an amazing job. She did both the art and the lettering afaik so I think that also makes her the designer, but @tachyonpub.bsky.social would know for sure!
