Someone just asked me about getting started as a literary translator and I realized I already have kind of a starter pack of content to help emerging translators. First, how to get rights to a book you want to translate: TikTok: vt.tiktok.com/ZSkN9B67w/ Reel: www.instagram.com/reel/CtYkiwh...

It's official: FELT is moving to Discord! After researching and talking to members, it's clear that Discord will be a better home for the community long-term. Members, keep an eye out for your invite link once the server goes live!

Join me online on January 28 for a conversation with Edwige Renée Dro, Ruth Bush, Ray Ndebi, and Sarah Ardizzone! We'll be talking about Francophone literature in Africa, or at least everything on the topic we can fit into one hour. (Easy, right? 😅)

Seriously considering moving FELT (@felttranslators.bsky.social) over from Slack to Discord now that Slack will be deleting content over a year old, especially now I've discovered you can transfer your archive over. Thoughts for or against very welcome!
