Ack! I wish I'd had this info last month when I was in Shropshire. Excellent read. Thank you!

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.

So sorry to learn we've lost Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, seen here on that night in 2009 when the Horror Writers Association presented her with the Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award. She'll be missed not only for the stories she told, but also the life she lived. A remarkable writer and person both.

I'm seated at a banquet table beside a standing Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, who has an arm around my shoulders. She's wearing a red flowered dress with a green wrap, while I'm in a grey suit. Other banquet tables can be made out in the darkness behind us.

I was lucky to see it in festival at Toronto After Dark. Fun fact: the entire set is practical - built by an arts collective in Seattle, I think.

1. The Magical Monarch of Mo by L. Frank Baum, hands down, no question. 2. I read a lot of bonkers childrens' books (see #1), but for reasons I can't quite explain, the one that stuck with me is The 35th of May by Erich Kästner.

Another starred review for THE BEWITCHING, this time from Library Journal. That makes a perfect *4* starred reviews from the trade journals (PW, Kirkus, Booklist and LJ). This is out next month and I don't know what else to say except pre-order now. www.libraryjournal.com/review/the-b...

The Bewitching cover shows a creepy hand.

What does it mean for a book to be fully Canadian-made? LPG publishers are committed to keeping Canadian stories, talent, and production close to home, checking all the boxes.

A graphic with text reading "Shopping for Canadian-Made Books? Check out this list of Canadian-owned presses" at the top with a list of 66 members of the Literary Press Group. There is a checkbox near the top outlining what makes a book entirely Canadian-made: Canadian publisher, Canadian author, designed and printed in Canada, and warehoused and distributed in Canada.

I suggest people take a look at the NYT's plagiarism lawsuit against OpenAI. LLMs are notorious for not just predictive text shit but literally spitting out entire copied paragraphs, verbatim, with no attribution.
