Listen to me talk!

The Japan Association of Translators Book special interest group has invited me to speak online about my budding career as a literary translator and my work translating Uketsu.

I plan to lay out how I got started on this path, the luck behind the Uketsu translations, and perhaps find some advice for those looking to get into the game themselves.

The schedule is April 18th from 3:00-4:30, Japan time. It’ll be on Zoom.

You can get the details and tickets here:

A Strange Turn of Events

I look forward to seeing lots of folks there!

How many books? TWO BOOKS.

That’s how many books I’ve been editing this last week. What a strange, blessed life I live now.

It goes a long way to ease the pain of finding out that a super exciting possibility I was looking forward to early next year fell through. It is also a bit of salve on the loss of Twitter which, among all the bad, was also a pretty nice home on the net and a great way to reach a lot of people who seemed mostly pretty awesome.

If you are one of those people I connected with over there, do feel free to reach out elsewhere. I’m on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/jim_and_jizake/, on Mastodon at @JimRion and, well, here.

In the mean time, back to the edits before I go on my first family vacation in literal years next week. See you on the flip side, yeah?

Yeah.
