The Italian Prose in Translation Award (IPTA), which was inaugurated in 2015, recognizes the importance of contemporary Italian prose (fiction and literary non-fiction) and promotes the translation of Italian works into English. Both translators and publishers are invited to submit titles, and submissions are open this year until April 18 at 11:59pm PT.

We are delighted to spotlight this year’s IPTA judges, Nerina Cocchi, Douglas Grant Heise, and Barbara Ofosu-Somuah!
