Blackbird: An Online Journal of Literature and the Arts
http://www.blackbird.vcu.edu/

Started in 2002, the online journal Blackbird brings many literary and artistic traditions together in a format that is both appropriate for the digital age, and one that will delight those interested in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. The journal is a joint venture between the department of English at Virginia Commonwealth University and the New Virginia Review. Published twice a year, the journal takes a breezy journey through the arts with interviews with Rodney Jones and Lorraine Adams and short pieces by such up-and-comers as Misty Urban and Kathy Flann. The poetry section is quite well-developed, and highlights here include Jennifer Chang’s “Estuary” and Terri Witek’s “Right Over Left”. Overall, Blackbird is a very pleasant find and a model that might serve as an inspiration for other groups seeking to start their own online humanities journal.

The German Book Office, a not-for-profit office of the Frankfurt Book Fair, promotes German-language books for translation in the U.S. As part of this work, we maintain a translator database, since publishers and literary organizations often request recommendations of translators qualified for a certain project. (This service is free -- both to the translator and publisher.) If you regularly do translation work from German into English and would like to be considered for inclusion in the database, please send your CV and a sample translation (if possible, and preferably with a copy of the original text) to post@gbo.org. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the translator database or the German Book Office.
