Additional info

supported by the University of Iowa’s Department of Classics and MFA program in Literary Translation we welcome submissions of translations from all languages, and particularly encourage submissions that prioritize the literary over the literal: translations that are contemporary and poetic, rhetorically arresting, aesthetically delightful, creative, adaptive, transformative, innovative, experimental, and multi-modal we seek to publish works that engage antiquity in ways that challenge traditional beliefs about what areas of study are valued as classics, including who gets to study and translate them we particularly welcome submissions from people with identities that are underrepresented in Classics, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ translators, and those working outside of academia We define the “ancient” in Ancient Exchanges quite broadly. If you use the words “classical,” “premodern,” “medieval,” “antique,” “archaic,” and/or “old” to describe the literature you translate, you are likely in the right place For writing that is relevant to the interests of Ancient Exchanges but takes a form other than translation or translation pedagogy (e.g., creative essay, review, interview, etc.), please query us before submitting Please consider waiting one calendar year (generally two submission cycles) after being published in Ancient Exchanges before submitting new work to us
