- What Translation Changes and What It Cannot
An essay on the specific transformations a literary translation performs — register, rhythm, cultural reference — and the translator's decisions that remain invisible to readers who encounter only the result.
- The Choices a Translator Makes Before the First Word
A practical walk-through of the decisions that precede the actual translation — which edition to use as the source text, what apparatus to carry over, how to handle the author's punctuation habits and paragraph rhythm.
- The Rights Fair and the Book That Travels
An explanation of how foreign rights work — the agents, the fairs, the advance structures, and the reasons why some books sell into twenty languages while comparable titles of equal quality sell into none.
- The Book That Waited Twenty Years
A piece about delayed translation — books that existed for decades before finding a publisher in another language — examining what conditions eventually caused them to cross and what was lost in the interval.
- Reading Against the Season
An argumentative essay making the case for the backlist as the more reliable guide to what is worth reading — and examining the habits of readers who deliberately resist the seasonal tide.
- How a Backlist Is Made
A practical account of how publishers manage titles beyond their initial season — reprint decisions, cover redesigns, series packaging, and the editorial work of keeping a book in print when the market has moved on.
