When a journal publishes your work, it’s very encouraging, it’s a fuel injection that powers a writer onwards and upwards. But when a journal re-publishes your work in its anthology it’s a reward that’s almost as good as being paid. I’ve recently had two journals choose my translated stories to publish for the second time this year.<\/p>\n

First One.<\/strong> A few weeks ago I received welcome news from Sunspot Lit <\/em>that my translation of Claudine Jacques’ story, ‘Other People’s Land’<\/a>, which had been published earlier this year digitally, was included in their first ever annual print edition. Unfortunately, though I’m a contributor, I have to buy a copy and pay for international postage, and the two costs combined are prohibitive. I trust the story looks great printed on paper, but I’ll never see it for myself. I hope readers are as touched by this New Caledonian story as I was.<\/p>\n

Second One.<\/strong> And then, today, I was advised that my translation of Eug\u00e8ne-Melchior de Vog\u00fc\u00e9’s longish tale, ‘Joseph Olenin’s Coat’<\/a>, was selected by the editors of Bewildering Stories<\/em> as one of the serials to be included in their ‘Quarterly Review’. It’s a great story about a lonely Ukrainian, written by a Frenchman. Here are a few lines from the journal’s web page explaining the selection method:<\/p>\n

The Quarterly Reviews are not a contest or competition; they are a special poll. And there are no quotas: anything \u2014 from everything to nothing \u2014 may qualify in any genre. They answer a practical question: \u201cIf a friend asked you to recommend something outstanding from the past quarter of Bewildering Stories<\/i>, what are your favorites? What would you choose?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This selection of stories is freely available on their Quarterly Review page of editors’ choices<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These two extra appearances of my translations are a form of reward for hard unpaid work. Thank you to all the editors and reviewers who chose my stories.<\/p>\n
