It's dreich out there, but our spring workshop is coming! On the 21st of March in Edinburgh, we'll discuss translation in the area of disaster risk reduction looking at languages and indigenous communities in Latin America, with Dr. Teresa Armijos Burneo. Info: itiscotland.org.uk/events/sprin...
Collage of three photos, two square ones at the top and a landscape shaped under. The first one shows Victoria Street in Edinburgh with The Quaker Meeting House sign visible. The second one is a room showing a speaker next to a screen at the far end and people sitting around tables looking towards the speaker. The landscape photo shows the white blooms of snowdrops on their green stems.

Publication day has finally arrived for my latest translation from Spanish: Singing to the Sun, by Regina Rodríguez Sirvent, published by Amazon Crossing. This book was so much fun to translate, it still made me laugh even after my umpteenth revision! #literarytranslation

A moment that changed me: in the bombed-out ruins of an apartment block, I saw a book I’d translated
The sight of my work, torn and singed but still legible, made me realise the importance of translating and protecting stories – so they remain when everything else falls away

👋 Hello lovely Blueskyers! Do I (or you?) know any gothic novel fans (or even better, with links to the UK publishing industry)? A student I know is keen to ask research questions about British gothic novels by women authors over the years and their correlation with societal changes. And pls share!
