Beacons is an annual peer-reviewed journal published by the American Translators Association's Literary Division. The Fall 2007 issue will feature three new rubrics:

1. INTRODUCING - a seasoned translator introducing a new author;
2. NEWCOMERS - for literary translators who've published fewer than fifty pages;
3. SE HABLA ESPAÑOL - translations from English into Spanish, in celebration of our unofficial second language.

We also welcome humorous texts about writing or translating, and texts with visual appeal.

Issues of Beacons will be published online as well as in a print-on-demand version of similar quality and format to previous editions of Beacons. Source texts will be available along with the target text wherever possible, on-line as well as in the print version. We hope to take advantage of our new online home to offer author and translator photos, commentary on the texts, audio clips of readings and interviews, and links to and from other Web sites. Graphics, concrete poetry, animation, and hypertext works are particularly welcome. Contributing translators and living authors will each receive one free copy of the print version.
