Publishing the World is designed to be the essential tool kit for up and coming editors who are interested in, but maybe intimidated by, foreign acquisitions. We hope to give you everything you need (basic how-to instructions, book reviews, interviews, success stories, deals, and maybe some drinks) to start bringing those great foreign books nobody’s read yet to America.

Publishing the World is proud to announce our new translation book club! Once a month we will be meeting to discuss a new (or classic) work in translation, hopefully with the editors and translators responsible for bringing it to English readers. Oh, and there will be wine and snacks. If you are interested in joining us, please email info (at) publishingtheworld (dot) com with your name, position, and company and we’ll add you to our mailing list. Unfortunately due to our desire for intimacy and affordability, the club is for the moment specifically for young(ish) editors, agents, scouts, rights reps, and other publishing professionals. But we’ll be holding larger events soon so if you’re not one of those things, keep in touch!
