Reviews
'This is a new kind of book which addresses a whole host of practical questions, making it required reading for anyone entering the literary translation profession today. Getting Started as a Literary Translator is as accessible as it is timely: reading it feels like having two personal mentors who give their sage advice at every turn, drawing on the experience of a substantial cast of expert translators and their own decades-long familiarity with the industry' Duncan Large, Professor of European Literature and Translation, University of East Anglia, Norwich. Executive Director, British Centre for Literary Translation 'A rigorous and timely handbook that redefines what it means to be a literary translator. Drawing on expert voices across the translation and publishing industry, Getting Started as a Literary Translator is an indispensable resource for aspiring translators, educators and researchers interested in how the world of literary translation actually works in practice.' Olga Castro, Associate Professor in Translation Studies, University of Warwick; Beatriz Galindo distinguished professor, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
