Quick question for anyone whose worked with artists/illustrators out there. How do you usually structure payments & your contracts when working with artists?
I'm thinking of collaborating with an artist who will illustrate several pieces from my current manuscript in progress, but am not sure how the pay works for these relationships (ie. royalties, by inch, by hour, etc)
Thanks in advance!

I'm SO excited to officially have a cover image for my forthcoming collection of ghost interviews and confessions, *Santa Muerte Santa Muerte: I Was Here Release Me* ---which releases from Tram Editions in February of 2023.
And to make good news even better, one of my favorite artists is working on an image for the cover of my almost-finished manuscript-in-progress, which should be ready to circulate to potential publishers in the next few months. Can I share either yet? Sadly, no... But soon. Soon. 👻

Thanks so much for your input! And I think it's also very important to address these questions of approach and what to prioritize. Personally, I feel that what a #translator prioritizes when translating a text, particularly a poem, will vary widely depending on the needs of the poem. If musicality is the spine on which the poem rests, than its music must be preserved. Conversely, if the gestalt of the poem--it's overall meaning--is its beating heart, that should be prioritized above all else.

I'm leading a panel on #Translation at #AWP2023 and am curious what the translation and @litstudies community would most like to hear/learn about when it comes to #creativity and translation theory. The panelists are all published creative writers who translate, so we will be able to touch upon the unique intersection of creative impulse and translation.
What would people want to hear? What are your interests? I'd love input to help guide the direction of the discussion!
