Topics range from the very practical (how to pitch projects to publishers, how to negotiate contracts) to more craft-oriented (translating style, dialogue in translation) and basically everything in between. For translators, it\u2019s incredibly valuable; as a publisher, I (Chad) have developed a number of amazing relationships with translators I\u2019ve met through ALTA (which has led to any number of projects).<\/p>\n<p>Given our proximity to NY (only a moderately long train ride! Or a hour-long flight!), this year is a great opportunity for more publishers and editors to get involved. To that end, here are four things that we\u2019re offering to all attending publishing people:<\/p>\n<p>* We can include promotional material in the attendee tote bags from every publisher that attends;<\/p>\n<p>* If you attend, we can stock a number of your recent titles in the ALTA bookstore (which is one of the most popular parts of ALTA);<\/p>\n<p>* If you want, you can participate in the ALTA speed dating in which you get a 2-3 page sample ahead of time, and meet with a translator for 15 minutes to give them some feedback and suggestions of where they can pitch their work (LIMITED NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES);<\/p>\n<p>* There is also an opportunity to participate in an hour-long pitch session, fielding 5-minute pitches from participants who sign up ahead of time. A great way to find out about potential projects and\/or meet new translators to call on in the future (LIMITED NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES).<\/p>\n<p>(BONUS: You can have a drink with me at my favorite bar and I will likely challenge you to some stupid parlour game.)<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in attending, please email ALTA\u2019s executive director, <a href=\"mailto:elisabeth@literarytranslators.org\">Lissie Jaquette<\/a> BEFORE Sunday, August 4th.<\/p>\n<p>See you in November!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For all editors and publishers out there, we wanted to put make sure you knew about \u00a0the American Literary Translators Association conference in Rochester on November 7-10 and some of the opportunities available to publishers.
