Anyone who decides to track me down on Instagram for translation chat is going to be severely disappointed to find that I only ever post pictures of mucky homegrown veg.

Sorry not to be able to spend another day at LBF, it was short but sweet (and a bit sweaty, and somewhat loud?!). Back to more literary business this morning: good old Mr Brick and his colossal crane(!)

Just looked it up and adjusted for inflation my wages for my day job have been stagnant since I entered the workforce in 2009! Very cool and totally acceptable state of affairs

As someone who reads the earliest coronation liturgies day in day out as a job, I feel I should have something pertinent and historical to say, but all I can think is ‘are we really still doing this weird ceremony some guys invented to install a usurper 1300 years ago?’

My latest translation out and about in the world! Hopefully inspiring lots of little people to make the changes they want to see in the world 🌍

Um, hey British Museum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

I've seen this discussed a lot with Norwegian children's literature in translation too, nudity in kids books seems to be a big no-no for English-language publishers.

DEADLINE EXTENDED to Sunday 10th Sept. Calling all experienced Danish/Norwegian to English literary translators. This opportunity is FULLY FUNDED and open to translators that have published at least one full-length novel. tinyurl.com/2p8cne56

I've just read #TheGuests by Agnes Ravatn. A one sit read. A superb psychological drama. Ravatn is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors. Brilliantly written & tightly plotted with a palpable tension. Absolutely riveting. Nordic fiction at its peak. Coming Jan '24

Jude Wright Blogger/Reviewer UK Karen Sullivan 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧 I loved it. I can't say why but I want there to be a sequel but also don't... oh god. It is so good!

Shane Karen Sullivan 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧 It's rare for me not to put a book down and take my time. I was hooked.

Last week was UK Parliament week. Every class read ‘If I Were Prime Minister’ by Trygve Skaug and @EllaOkstad and then decided what they would do if they were in charge of running the country. Here are some of our ideas. Thanks Mrs Austwick for another fab display. City of Doncaster Council

No better feeling than seeing your translation work out in the world and being used in this way - what a fun translation this was, and what an important thing for children to feel empowered to think about 👏
