Game-changing Publisher Will Evans of Deep Vellum Talks Editorial Greatness at Feraru Conferences

The next iteration of the Feraru Online Conferences puts front and center one of the most visionary editors in the U.S., Will Evans, the CEO of maverick press Deep Vellum. Daring, eloquent, and indefatigable, Will Evans has built, against all odds, in a country where foreign fiction published every year counts for less than 0,5% of all publications, a most successful editorial platform devoted to literature in translation, which has become the welcoming home to legions of important authors from all corners of the world. The publisher of Mircea Cărtărescu and Magda Cârneci comes to Feraru Conferences to reveal how he has become the author of the biggest coups in editorial America of the past decade, how Deep Vellum has ended up, in 10 years and apparently from scratch, with a catalog of almost 2,000 foreign titles, and why publishing books in translation is not as crazy at it sounds on the cut-throat American book market.
