The jury for the SF&F Translation Awards is now hard at work on its task. The first ever winners will be announced early next year. We have just about everything in place except cash prizes. And for that we need your help. I have just launched a fund raiser. As is traditional with such things, there are prizes on offer for some lucky donors. Friends of mine such as Neil Gaiman, Jeff and Ann VanderMeer, Gary K. Wolfe, Lou Anders and Nick Mamatas have offered prizes. More will be announced in the coming weeks.

Please spread the word. In particular if you are able to blog about the appeal in a language other than English, please do so. This is, after all, about promoting authors from outside of the English-speaking world.

And if you would like to donate a prize, please email me.
