Submissions
The Brooklyn Rail welcomes you to our web-exclusive section InTranslation, where we feature unpublished translations of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and dramatic writing. Launched in April 2007, InTranslation is a venue for outstanding work in translation and a resource for translators, authors, editors, and publishers seeking to collaborate.

We seek exceptional unpublished English translations from all languages.

Plays: Manuscripts of no longer than 30 pages (in left-justified format)

author(s), 1-2 paragraphs in length. Translators who wish to have their

This may include critical analysis, historical contextualization,
