INTERPRET magazine

Interpret is a new magazine of international literature: open to anyone, anywhere, in any language.

​

We showcase the best new writing in English alongside poems, stories, and interviews from around the world. Authors featured in Interpret include winners of the Booker Prize, International Booker Prize, the King's Gold Medal for Poetry, the US National Book Award, and the Neustadt International Prize for Literature. We're especially proud that they also include many authors receiving their first ever English publication.

 

Publication in multiple languages is key to that work: we always publish in the original and English translation. So far, we've published authors from 50 countries in 35 languages. We receive no funding and rely on a dedicated network of subscribers.

Our latest issue, Interpret 14, features Simon Armitage, the UK Poet Laureate, and the Booker-winning novelist Ben Okri, alongside new writing in Japanese, Sanskrit, French, Spanish, and much more.
