Post That Puts a ✓ Next to All of These Elements: Latinx Authors – Own Voices – Bilingual Authors and Books- Bilingual Writers – Spanish Translators
August 4, 2019
I generated this list after an author on Twitter asked for authors that wrote #KidLit in more than one language, she was looking specifically for authors that did not use a translator, but I am often asked for titles and authors that have books in both English and Spanish, so I melded those two requests into one.
I have access to Latinx authors and their works more than any other bilingual group so I focused on those. Read carefully before you decide that I should have or should have not mentioned a particular author. Also pay attention to the fact that this is a STARTER LIST AND by no means complete or exhaustive. If you are certain that an author should be added please add a comment and I will update this list.
This is a “starter” list of #Latinx #KidLit Authors who have titles in both English and Spanish. If they wrote and translated their books it is noted. If they use the services of a translator, it is also noted, and the names of translators used are added when information is available.
Esta es una lista “principiante” de autores #Latinx que escriben #KidLit (literatura para niños y jóvenes) que tienen títulos disponibles en inglés y español. Si el autor o autora escribieron y tradujeron sus libros, se ha especificado. Si la autora o autor utilizaron los servicios de una traductora o traductor, también se ha especificado, y los nombres de los traductores o traductoras se han suministrado si la información estaba disponible.
ATTENTION: THE LIST ONLY NAMES LATINX AUTHORS WITH BOOKS IN BOTH SPANISH AND ENGLISH!
ATENCIÓN: ¡LA LISTA SOLO MENCIONA AUTORAS O AUTORES LATINX CON LIBROS EN ESPAÑOL E INGLÉS!
