Greetings all,
I recently put together a list of 350 paying literary markets of interest to creative writers and translators. About a third of the markets specifically say that they accept translations, making it a handy reference for anyone in search of viable paying markets for translated works of fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction, which includes everything from memoirs and personal essays to travelogues, diaries, and more.

| More speculative fiction | Jul 27, 2021 |
For those who translate science fiction and fantasy, my new e-book for creative writers and translators (mentioned above) contains more than 35 paying speculative fiction markets.
I’ve noticed that these markets tend to be open to translated work and often (but not always!) pay at least 8 to 10+ cents per word.
For one example, see Samovar, which is focused exclusively on speculative fiction in translation:

Sometimes we see postings on this site from people who want to build up their translation portfolios, and literary translations can be a great way to achieve that, especially when your work is accepted for publication in a magazine that you can show to publishers and others who may be interested in your work.
Translations of this type can also serve as fun “side-projects” when you are between jobs, or even while you are working on more technical projects to make ends meet.
Some people shy away from literary translation, thinking that it only involves fiction and poetry, but this is far from the case. As noted above, creative non-fiction is also part of the deal and is very much in demand.
Many literary publications also publish interviews with artists and authors, so if you are able to interview someone of interest (such as an emerging author in your country), then you may be able to have a translation of the interview published in one of the many markets that accepts this type of work.
As for payment, the rates offered by such publications vary greatly. Some of the rates are low, while others are much more palatable, paying at least 8 to 10 cents per word, if not more in several cases. The Bare Life Review, for example, which focuses on the writing of immigrant and refugee writers and also publishes translations, pays $750 for some types of writing.
Want to find out more?
Then download the book! It is completely free on Amazon until August 3, 2021.
