About the Event

Every writer dreams of being published. And, if you’re lucky, your work will be published in different languages so that people across the world can engage with your words. In this Career Chat, you’ll learn about publishing from various perspectives. Whether you’re a monoglot or a polyglot, you’ll gain so much from our Mentors for the Day. Come hear from Rhonda Mullins, a translator and writer; Aube Rey Lescure, a French-Chinese-American writer; and Natália Affonso, a translator, editor, and communications and publishing professional.

Thank you to The Carol Shields Prize for Fiction for partnering with GWN for this event.
