Learn about one translator's foray into the world of translating speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more), lessons learned, and recommendations. Monica Louzon—Spanish-language translator, writer, and editor—will share how she became a translator, finds works to translate, and collaborates with authors and editors. She will also provide a brief history of translated speculative fiction, her insights into the speculative fiction publishing industry, recommendations for those looking to read more translated speculative fiction, and advice for would-be translators.
