Hi! This is a call for articles, papers, stories, anecdotes, etc.. As translators, we all have stories, nagging thoughts we want to let out, or things we wish we had known, or thoughts about the future of translation. The plan is to collect these articles and other writings so as to form a book.

This is a call for articles, papers, stories, anecdotes, etc.. As translators, we all have stories, nagging thoughts we want to let out, or things we wish we had known, or thoughts about the future of translation. The plan is to collect these articles and other writings so as to form a book.
I will specify right away that this is unpaid. However, the idea is that once we have a book, we can all use it as our new calling card. So, next time you meet a potential client, in addition to a business card, you could say "By the way, I am also an author of this book on translation".
The sections for now (but subject to change) are "The importance of translation", "Disasters in translations" and "The future of translation" so, ideally, what you send will fit into one of these sections. If it does not, however, don't worry. Depending on what we receive we may want to add or modify the sections.
I should also mention that we cannot guarantee your article will be featured. I anticipate receiving quite a few entries, and we would like to keep the book under 200 pages if possible.

Additional stuff:
While we cannot pay you for what you write, we are happy to provide pretty much anything else, such as your name, name of your company, short bio or contact information - basically whatever you'd like.
Whatever you write should obviously be yours, and not copied or plagiarized.
The length is a flexible issue. For now I would say that the longer the better (we can always cut down stuff more easily than add stuff), but as long as what you write is interesting and worth it, there can obviously be variation.
The timeline for submissions is by the end of the month, so we can get working on them right away!
Send your submissions to Book AT Acahi.com (please copy your text into the body of the email. Sorry but we can't open attachments).
That's about it. For more information you can visit "http://www.acahi.com/call-for-articles/ ▲ Collapse
