UK PANEL'S CHOICE
Panels are formed by five or six industry experts, among them publishers, translators, academics, critics and booksellers. Panellists change every edition to allow as many people as possible to be part of the project. The panel meets twice, and decisions are based on their knowledge, experience and intuition, as well as on readers´ reports commissioned by this office. Members of the panel reach their decisions with complete independence.
Due to Covid-19, the 2021 meetings took place virtually for the second consecutive year. Thanks to the cooperation of the members of the panel, the meetings ran smoothly and were as productive as ever. The panel for the 2021 edition was formed by Gala Sicart (editor and translator from English into Spanish and Catalan), John Newman (children´s book buyer at Newham Bookshop), Miranda France (linguist, translator and writer) and Nick Caistor (Literary translator from Spanish, Portuguese and French). The following people have translated book summaries or/and written reports for this issue: Ariadna Garcia Llorente, Beth Fowler, Catherine Mansfield, Chris Moss, Christina Macsweeney, Faye Williams, Hebe Powell, Joe Williams, Judith Willis, Kathleen March, Laura McGloughlin, Lindsey Ford, Mara Lethem, Peter Bush, Rahul Bery, Richard Mansell, Ruth Clarke, Suky Taylor and Tim Gutteridge.
We greatly appreciate the work they have done in making this edition of New Spanish Books a great success, especially considering the current exceptional circumstances. Thank you!
