THE BIG NEWS: I’m incredibly excited and beyond delighted to be able to say i have been signed by the wonderful @losbennett.bsky.social at Liverpool Lit Agency. To be represented by Laura means a huge amount to me. This is a massive day for your boy from The Blue City. Down your drinks, on we go.
Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Had a brilliant weekend at World FantasyCon! What a wonderful group of people and it was so lovely to meet up with friends old and new.
On my way to Brighton for WFC! Say hi if you see me. I have partially purple hair so I’m fairly distinctive.
Since the article itself is paywalled... my new novel is called THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE BLEEDS, which @losbennett.bsky.social sold to @titanbooks.bsky.social earlier this year. It's a fantasy adventure in a queer-normative world featuring fractured futures, sapphic romance, and giant wasps.

It’s finally here! Publication day! And not, as my phone keeps autocorrecting it, ‘pub location’ day. 😂 ‘Chaos Theory’ has been nurtured for 4.5 years, and now it’s finally out in the world, going on its own adventures. You can get it as paperback, e-book and audiobook. Linktr.ee/SylviaLeatham
I loved doing this interview with @cbcreative.bsky.social. My book #ChaosTheory is out Friday! @losbennett.bsky.social @stormbooksco.bsky.social

My book #ChaosTheory will be out very soon! If you’re in Dublin on Sept 14, I’d love to see you at the launch, hosted by the mighty @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social . It’s been nerve wracking seeing early reviews, but I’ve been blown away by the response! Get tix for the launch via link in my bio.

I wrote about the decision myself and other authors took to withdraw from the longlist of the Polari Book Prizes for LGBTQ+ writers www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Why I withdrew my book from an LGBTQ+ literary prize | Jason Okundaye
The Polari first book prize claims to promote trans rights and trans voices. But when I saw the longlist, I had to act, says Guardian writer Jason Okundaye
theguardian.com
This is how it’s done! Got tickets for the singalong! And me and the kiddo will have matching shirts. 🤣🤣 #kpopdemonhunters
It’s not only that trans people are not an issue or debate. It’s that the Polari Prize is meant to be for LGBTQ+ people. If the Jhalak Prize, for writers of colour, longlisted someone who was Islamophobic then that too would be inappropriate for the prize specifically as well as for being ethical
