Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Since the article itself is paywalled... my new novel is called THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE BLEEDS, which @losbennett.bsky.social sold to @titanbooks.bsky.social earlier this year. It's a fantasy adventure in a queer-normative world featuring fractured futures, sapphic romance, and giant wasps.

It’s finally here! Publication day! And not, as my phone keeps autocorrecting it, ‘pub location’ day. 😂 ‘Chaos Theory’ has been nurtured for 4.5 years, and now it’s finally out in the world, going on its own adventures. You can get it as paperback, e-book and audiobook. Linktr.ee/SylviaLeatham

My latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books

Title: Who should you get to represent your book?

Elvish warrior or Literary agent

A large venn diagram of two overlapping ovals.

In the Elvish warrior's section:

1. Can talk to trees and sense evil

2. Possesses an enchanted Blade

3. Centuries of experience

In the central overlap section for both:

1. Trusted And honest advisor

2. Protection From cutpurses and brigands

3. Loyal companion

In the Literary Agent's section:

1. Good Relationships With publishers

2. Great eye For contracts

3. Pays For lunch

Tip: if possible, get both. But if forced to choose, lunch probably swings it for the agent.
