TOPIC STARTER
Literary Translation Jul 29

I have already been told you can't make it on literary translation alone so I haven't yet closed the deal on the publication. I am working with the author on that so I am still not aware of what the closing deal will be but I know that my percentage is 15% and whatever I decide to charge for the translation to the publishing company which I assume publishing companies are considered direct clients so I am hoping I can demand more in my rates.

Did the author engage you? Then he/she is your client. If the publisher engaged you, there must be a contract specifying payment. Did you consult with any of your professors on this deal? How long ago did you finish the translation? If more than a month ago you should have been paid by now.
If it turns out to be an e-book selling for $2.00, you could make pennies.
I have the feeling I'm watching a slow-motion train wreck.
