When I'm offered the opportunity to work with a prestigious client but they require me to watch a 4 hour webinar first.

Two men standing in a shop. The one on the left makes a counter-offer, presented as top and bottom meme text. It reads "Best I can do is kill myself".

You may be interested to know that, although I was offered a translation of your emoji (which I think is labelled as being in French), it did not compute. A bit like those examples you cited!! #xl8

I am always avuncularly proud of "my" authors, even when good things happens to other books than the ones of theirs I translated.

They're still "mine" because "my" author.

Chernobyl Prayer, Svetlana Alexievich, trs. @annagunin.bsky.social & Arch Tait.

My final #WomenInTranslationMonth read (started in August; it counts!) & wow. I don't understand how something so harrowing & devastating can also be so gorgeous. A tour de force – hats off to the translators!

Photo of the front cover of the book Chernobyl Prayer, by Svetlana Alexievich.
The top third is white, with the publisher's logo (Penguin) and author's name in pale blue, the title and the words 'Winner of the Nobel Prize in [sic] Literature' in black. The image below shows a blurred view from a dirty window spattered with rain – a blurred grey object stands to the left, blocking two-thirds of the window, with some green and a hint of sky visible to the right. A butterfly or moth, in focus, sits on the window towards the bottom left.
The names of the translators, Anna Gunin and Arch Tait, are not mentioned.

PAID GIG:

I'm looking for someone who knows Spanish Sign Language.

I'm going to be translating a graphic novel where SSL is featured (hooray for d/Deaf rep!!) and I want to be sure that I get the text aligned with the signs in the artwork. This should be happening at some point this year.
