Instead of focusing on a single country, BEA’s “Global Market Forum” for 2014 will devote itself to Books In Translation. They will convene what they are calling a “world summit on translation” on May 28 (the conference day before the show floor opens), followed by programs at BEA and around New York. A variety of partners will join BEA in developing the related professional and cultural programs, including: The Literary Translation at Columbia Writing Program, PEN World Voices, Open Letter Press, the Association of Author Representatives, American Literary Translators Association, and Art of Translation in San Francisco.
