Spring 2026 Pitch Sessions

Available exclusively to members at no additional charge, ALTA’s Pitch Sessions with translation publishers are held twice annually. Spring 2026 sessions will take place from May 4-8.

In these 8-minute Zoom sessions, translators are invited to present a project to an editor from a press or journal in ALTA’s network for possible publication. Participants sign up to meet with an editor of their choice and may receive brief, verbal feedback on their pitch as time allows in their session.

Learn about the participating presses and the schedule of editors by clicking the red menu items above.

Registration is open from April 9 – April 27. You must be an ALTA member to participate. Join today! Information about how to sign up for Pitch Sessions is emailed directly to current members on April 9 at 12:00pm Eastern Time. Session signups open at 1:00pm Eastern Time.

Members may sign up for TWO pitch sessions. Note that times are now listed in EASTERN STANDARD TIME (EST).

All participants in ALTA’s programming agree to abide by and uphold ALTA’s Code of Conduct. Participation in our pitch sessions does not constitute ALTA’s endorsement of any publisher or magazine. We encourage translators to research the business practices, response times, and submission guidelines of publishers and magazines they are actively interested in pitching to.
