Huge congratulations to all the longlisted authors and translators. Many I haven’t read, but thrilled to see Starnone & Erpenbeck, and disappointed for Mbougar Sarr / Lara Vergnaud and Balsam Karam/ Saskia Vogel who I thought were shoe-ins thebookerprizes.com/media-centre/p…
Thrilled to unveil the start of the 2023 list: children's & YA books in translation (from any language, published anywhere)
Many more titles to add - please help by using the google form!
And please share with the global readers in your life!

So excited to announce my new Hindi mentee through the SALT: South Asian Literature in Translation/American Literary Translators Association (ALTA) mentorships! Aditya Vikram is a wonderful emerging translator who's doing some stellar work. We met in Delhi a few days ago, and took these pics during an epic tour through Dariyaganj in Delhi.
Ooooh yes! Look what has arrived Sathnam Sanghera, can't wait 📙

Today I’m remembering my husband Gordon Aikman and all who have died from Motor Neurone Disease. There is still no cure.
He died 7 years ago today and we are incredibly proud of everything he achieved.
The brilliant Glenn Campbell made this film about him:
