Around the World in 18 Books: <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

An introduction to literary translation in children\u2019s and YA publishing<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A whistle-stop tour of the globe by way of translated books for children and young adults, introduced by Patricia Billings<\/a> (Milet Publishing and Outside in World)<\/p>\n

Literary translator and diverse publishing activist Ruth Ahmedzai<\/span> Kemp<\/a> takes us on a tour of 18 books from 18 countries, translated into English from 18 languages, giving a behind-the-scenes glimpse at a vibrant and growing sector: literary translation for children and teens.<\/p>\n

In an illustrated talk taking in 18 examples of fiction, nonfiction and poetry for children and young adults, Ruth opens a door onto the global children\u2019s publishing industry, looking at how publishing rights are sold from one country to another, how translations are commissioned and funded, how marketing and age-banding varies between territories, why there are so few translations from outside of Europe and so few translated books by non-white authors, and how that could change.<\/p>\n

Besides translators and researchers, this whirlwind book tour is aimed at a general audience including booksellers, librarians, teachers and parents, indeed anyone keen to diversify their children\u2019s bookshelves.<\/p>\n

Warning: you may come away with a long wish list of books to buy!<\/p>\n
