#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 13. Are you mindful of your readers’ expectations? How so?
My readers expect English-language translations of German folk tales, which is already a pretty rare thing.
But I can't just translate the tales themselves and call it a day (or worse, run the texts through an #LLM translator) - I need to provide _context_, for otherwise these tales won't make a lot of sense to my readers. 19th century #Germany is culturally pretty removed from 21st Germany - let alone from modern international readers, many of whom have never even visited the country. They _need_ some pointers to what is going on in these stories.
