Guidelines for Translations
 

• We will only publish translations of poetry by women-identifying poets. The translators must also be women-identifying.
   
• Translations must be previously unpublished on the Internet. The translator (or author, if author is the one submitting) is responsible for clearing any and all rights and permissions for translated works and must provide proof in the form of a statement of permission. This includes payment of any related fees. Please note that copyright law varies from country to country. SWWIM Every Day will not clear copyright law for translators.
   
• Copyright for work appearing in SWWIM Every Day is the same as the other poems that appear on our site (First North American, digital, first serial, and archival rights). When seeking permissions, please make sure that authors and publishers know that work will be made available as a poem-of-the-day on our website, as a newsletter to our digital subscribers, and may also be selected to re-appear on our website as a throwback poem-of-the-day. Permissions should cover electronic and anthology print versions as well as digital reproduction. Rights revert back to the translator on publication. Please cite SWWIM Every Day wherever the translation reappears.
  
• We accept simultaneous submissions, as long as we are informed immediately should your work be published elsewhere.
   
• Please submit 1-3 poems, both the original and translated versions, in a copy-pastable document format (no PDFs).
   
• Please include a statement that says the following: SWWIM Every Day has the permission from both author and translator (and publisher’s permission, if necessary) to publish both the original work and the translation. Any mistakes in Roman, non-Roman, left-to-right, or languages with diacritical marks are assumed to be the fault of the translators and not of SWWIM Every Day, who will reproduce by copy-paste what is supplied.
   
• Please include two (2) 75-word bios, one for the original author and one for the translator, written in the third person.
