Guidelines for contributors

We welcome articles in English, French, German, Spanish or Catalan.

Generally speaking, 200 – 700 words. Longer texts can be split into separate articles.

Style

• Articles tend to be more personal and less academic than other typical specialist content, written in the first person and aimed at a general readership.
• Regarding text format, we do not use bold letters to emphasise words or use slashes – / – to mark alternatives.
• We tend to avoid complex layouts and long sentences.
• Articles should contain links to other items of interest that can be consulted on the web.
• Articles should contain at least one usable (not pirated) image for illustrative purposes.
• At least one image must be included. The image must either belong to the author of the article, be copyright-free, or have been provided with permission for use.
• If in doubt, the simplest option is usually the most elegant.

Suggestions for topics

• Reviews of books that have not yet been translated into Spanish or Catalan, preferably recently published works.
• Reflections on teaching practice or professional experience. 
• Reports on congresses, conferences, seminars, or other events related to academic or professional life, as well as accounts of visits or stays at other institutions.
• Recommendations of linguistic or literary readings. 
• Reflections on language or cultural phenomena.
• Reflections on the profession of translation, profiles of translators, anecdotes related to the field, and similar topics.
