We’re looking primarily for translations of book-length works of fiction or creative nonfiction. On the children’s side, we are currently considering picture books. We’re happy to hear directly from translators as well as agents. We want to see work from everywhere.
Please send submissions and related questions to submissions@diptychpress.com.
For translators
Please send a translation sample (you can decide the length, but ten pages should be enough if you’re doing it on spec) along with a pdf of the full book in the original language, if available. We’d also love to see a synopsis, your thoughts about the book and its prospects in English, and a note about the rights situation. For some resources on pitching translations, see this list prepared by the American Literary Translators Association.
For writers
If you are a writer working in English, we’d also be happy to consider your work. We’re interested in stories from international or US–based writers who engage seriously with the wider world.
For everyone
Have something to say? We’d love to hear from you at hi@diptychpress.com.
