Hi! I'm a trans masc author and artist from South Africa. I have 3 books out currently with another one coming out later this month, and I also have a webcomic called Until Sunset! (I also do character art and cover commissions!)

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Reminder, we open to nonfiction and reprint submissions in two weeks! For reprints, we're specifically looking for stories currently unavailable to read online for free! For nonfiction, we're looking for completed pieces, not pitches. 📝Our full guidelines: othersidespec.com/guidelines/
