ALTA's mentees have the option to take part in our "First Look" program, which allows participating publishers to be the first to read excerpts of the translations mentees have worked on throughout their mentorship period, for possible publication. In 2020, for example, 11 poems and 3 short stories translated by our mentees were immediately selected for publication by 6 different literary journals!
We are grateful to the editors of the following presses and journals, who support literary translation and emerging literary translators by reading our mentees' excerpts:
Publishers, to be added to this list and receive translation excerpts at the end of each mentorship program year, please contact Program Manager Kelsi Vanada at kelsi@literarytranslators.org.
