The AALITRA Review aims to foster a community of literary translators

The AALITRA Review aims to foster a community of literary translators and to be a forum for lively debate concerning issues related to the translation of literary texts. We publish two non-thematic issues a year, and in alternate years, one special issue devoted to a particular topic. All submissions (except book reviews, interviews and translators’ diaries) are subject to anonymous double peer review.

We accept a variety of high-quality material concerned with literary translation, and translations of literary texts. More specifically, we welcome submissions in the following categories:

• scholarly articles on aspects of translation (both practical and theoretical) (anonymous double peer-reviewed)
• interviews with established translators or Translation Studies scholars on aspects of their work (copy-edited, not peer-reviewed)
• book reviews of major Translation Studies publications (copy-edited, not peer-reviewed)
• book reviews of literary translations into English, or of Australian writing into other languages (copy-edited, not peer-reviewed)
• Commentary: original translations into English of literary texts (with a preference for poetry and prose) accompanied by a critical introduction and commentary by the translator (anonymous peer-reviewed)
• Commentary: original translations of Australian literary texts (with a preference for poetry and prose) into languages other than English, accompanied by a critical introduction and commentary by the translator, and written in English (anonymous peer-reviewed)
• *New*: Literary Translators’ diaries documenting works in progress, including detailed consideration of a particular translation issue or dilemma (copy-edited, not peer-reviewed).
