Guest Bloggers Wanted!

We Rufous Press editors also have a translation bureau. At that site we maintain a language blog. Although it is in Swedish we would like to invite guest bloggers from all over the world. Texts should be in English or Swedish and deal with language. 

Would you like to contribute with a post about language? Some ideas of topics: memories from studying language at school, literary writing, bilingualism, translation difficulties, weird linguistics, problems you have encountered in the language field, etc, etc… 

Remember to add your name (pseudonyms are ok too) and link(s) to your website(s) or project(s).

Send texts to: info at uppsalatranslations.com

Lush Now Also at Amazon

Lush from Rufous Press is now also available at Amazon. To purchase a copy from Amazon USA click right here and from Amazon UK here.

Lush is a lovely collection of poetry and prose. The best publication from Rufous Press, according to us editors. You can read more about this title right here.

Over Yonder Now Also in Sweden

Over Yonder is now available at Swedish Adlibris. You will find it right here.

It is also available at Swedish Bokus, CDOn, etc, but Adlibris has the lowest price. Not sure why the sum varies so much. We editors have no power over the price-fixing of Over Yonder in Sweden. 

If you are not a Swede you can get a copy at Amazon or Lulu for a song.

A Big, New Essay by Ryan Swofford

Ryan Swofford has written his debut essay in a big, new literary blog here. He'd like it if you stroked it and gave it love and life.

Swedish Sites

So far Jenny and I have been posting English and Swedish texts and updates on the same websites. Fusion is a really good thing. But mishmash is just, well, messy and so is mixing two languages on one site. 

The sites will be like two sides of a coin, in English and in Swedish.

We both will continue our English sites of course. 

Check out Jenny's Swedish homepage. 

And, after that, Ande's Swedish homepage.

If you do not know Swedish yet, well, never mind, it is quite easy to learn. 

Lush: Reduced Price

You can now purchase a copy of the lovely Lush at a reduced price. This priceless gem is now $8.70. We editors believe that this is the best Rufous Press publication. It deserves to be read and that is why the price is ridicously low. You can buy a copy right here. 

As this was the last book from Rufous Press it is especially rewarding that it is the best one. Editing takes way too much time. We have many other commitments. We want to dedicate our limited spare time to our own writing and other things.  

Thanks to all the wonderful contributors and readers of Rufous Press/Rufous Salon!
