UK PANEL'S CHOICE
Panels are usually formed by six industry experts, amongst which there are publishers, translators, critics, booksellers, and a permanent representative from the British Centre for Literary Translation (BCLT). Panelists change every edition to allow as many people as possible to be part of the project. The panel meets twice at our offices in central London. Their decisions are based on their knowledge, experience and intuition, as well as on reader’s reports. Members of the panel take their decisions with total independence.
The Autumn/Winter 2012 panel was formed by:Michal Shavit (Editorial Director – Harvill Secker), Geoffrey Mulligan (Head of Clerkenwell Press), Gary McKeone (representing BCLT), Frank Wynne (Translator), Guy Ramage (Head of Sales, Belgravia Books) and Michael Prodger (Journalist). The following people have translated book summaries or/and written reports for this issue: Catherine Forrest, Christina MacSweeney, Lise Jones, Chris Moss, Izzie Kaufeler, Martin Schifino, , Judith Willis, Ollie Brock, Anne McLean, Suky Taylor and Miranda France.
A big thank you to all of them for their enthusiast and invaluable contribution to the Autumn/Winter 2012 edition of New Spanish Books.
