#AI developers, pillaging existing book translations to improve their products, are preying on both the past and future work of literary translators, writes @ioagiles. #Scandinavian language #translators speak out. eurozine.com/pirate-ai/

“Publishers, Agents, Editors: Navigating Relationships with Key Players” @londonbookfair with @M_Hutchison @MrPaulRGarrett @Rosenkrantz & @ioagiles. In a #publishing hierarchy where literary translators are at the bottom of the tree, do we need to be less nice to thrive? #LBF24

Some hugely exciting news to kick off LBF week: so proud to be publishing #JävlaKarlar - winner of the August Prize - in English next summer. It's storytelling at its finest, it sparkles with originality and charm, and I can't wait for you to read it. @AndrevWalden @ioagiles

#TranslationTuesday "Dion Graham smoothly moves from 1 point of view to the other, expertly voicing...varying nationalities, ages & temperaments” for the 2nd #AgentJohnAdderley #mystery by Peter Mohlin & Peter Nystrom translated by @ioagiles @RecordedBooks bit.ly/3JAhb8q

@LLalaurie @LondonBookFair @vineet_uk @RuthAhmedzai Official word is no livestreaming or recordings this year.

The last time I checked @LondonBookFair's Literary Translation Centre programme, it was empty. I made my plans, will be there on April 18 only, and now there are several things I'd love to attend on the 19th and 20th...🙄Hoping there will be recordings?? @vineet_uk @RuthAhmedzai?

Listening in to @BarnetLibraries great event featuring @arne_dahl in conversation with @CollinsJacky talking about YOU ARE NEXT, his latest book in English (in my translation), on this wet and windy Wednesday night.

Pleased that the good people at @AriesFiction @BooksHoz have finally brought Carin Gerhardsen's BLACK ICE to the UK in my translation. It's a gripping standalone title and I strongly recommend it.
