Subject: Jewish Fiction.net seeks translations

Jewish Literary Journal, Jewish Fiction .net, seeks translations into 
English of Yiddish works (that have not yet been published in English)

Jewish Fiction .net (www.jewishfiction.net) is an online literary journal 
committed to showcasing the finest Jewish writing (either written in, or 
translated into, English), and creating a virtual home for writers and 
readers of Jewish fiction from around the world. Last year (our first 
year), 15,000 people from 65 countries read the stories and novel excerpts 
in our journal, including wonderful works originally written in Yiddish by 
Shira Gorshman, Chava Rosenfarb, and
Yehoshue Perle.

We at Jewish Fiction .net greatly cherish Yiddish literature, and are 
seeking, for future issues, translations into English of Yiddish works 
that have not yet been published in English. We would very much like to 
include in our journal at least one piece per issue that is translated 
from Yiddish. Our usual word length is 6,000 words, but there is some 
flexibility on this. To send us your translated work, please visit our 
Submissions page at 
http://www.jewishfiction.net/index.php/contactus/submission or contact the 
editor, Dr. Nora Gold, at nora.gold at jewishfiction.net.
