Summer’s the perfect time to focus on women’s writing in translation, with #WiTMonth running all August on social media – and hopefully on your bookshelves.

The campaign’s been running for ten years now and we’ve seen a massive increase in women-authored books published in translation since Meytal Radzinski got the ball rolling in 2014. Back then, only 26% of published fiction translations into English were written by women. Through steady campaigning and appeals to editors and publishers, that shocking imbalance has been largely eradicated – last year’s stats show 47% of translated fiction was originated by women. 

As you might have noticed, V&Q Books prides itself on publishing a whole lot of women writers. Three of our authors are men, with the other nine playing the woman card. For August, we’re offering 20% off all our women in translation, for readers in the UK and Ireland.

Just order via our website and enter the code WiT24 at the checkout.

Enjoy!
