5 Places to Publish Your Translations in February 2022
If you’re looking for places to publish your translations, you can keep Alluvium, QLRS, and Eunoia Review. QLRS does not specifically mention translations in its guidelines, but I have checked with the editors, and they are very open to seeing submissions of translations. The editors at all three of these publications are great to work with, so don’t be shy. Visit their guidelines pages and start submitting your work now.
Here are 5 places more you might want to look if you have a translated piece you’d like to see published:
Alchemy is a journal focused solely on translations. The journal only accepts works from students, amateur translators, and professional translators who have not yet published a full-length book of translation. If you are trying to get your literary translation career off the ground, this is a good opportunity to look into. The current theme Alchemy is exploring is Unlearning.
Your Impossible Voice is a nonprofit literary journal dedicated to supporting writers and poets, encouraging readership, and promoting literary scholarship. It publishes work from around the world, and it is especially interested in translations. Please see the guidelines page for more details on how to submit.
Silk Road Review publishes vibrant, well-crafted fiction, nonfiction, essays, poetry, one-act plays, screenplays, graphic narratives, translations, first chapters, and artwork that explore human dynamics and social transformations that occur in any story-rich location in the world. See their submission guidelines here.
The Stockholm Review of Literature lists as the things it likes “Feminism. Topical pop referential trash. Psychoanalysis. Religion. Radical and very upsetting leftist or neo-conservative political pieces. Interviews. Book reviews.” And what it doesn’t like: “Politics.” If this sounds like a place your translation would work, see their submission guidelines for more information on how to send your work to them.
The Paris Review accepts unsolicited submissions of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry for the print quarterly via Submittable during the months of March and September. All submissions must be in English and previously unpublished, and translations should be accompanied by a copy of the original text. Please see their guidelines for submissions here.
