Additional info
A critical component of your submission is the Translator's Note. Please use this opportunity to speak to the source and receiving contexts of the work and any unique challenges faced in the act of translation itself. Take care here—the Translator's Note is often a deciding factor in our review process. To be considered for publication, submissions must include: Both the original text and the translation. Proof of permission from the original's rightsholder(s) for publication of the original text on the internet. Brief biographies. A Translator's Note. If your work has appeared previously in Exchanges, we encourage you to wait at least one submission cycle before submitting again.
