The Octavia E. Butler Literary society wants to facilitate the translation of Butler’s most well-known works into Spanish. Does anyone have any insight into the machinations of translating a work?

I’d recommend contacting ALTA (the American Literary Translators Association). They have a list of members actively working to and from Spanish. http://www.literarytranslators.org/

Many thanks, I will do that.
