US PANEL'S CHOICE

The US panel is formed by industry experts, which may include translators, agents, authors, professors, editors and publishers. Sometimes the panelists change, allowing more professionals to participate in this project. Our panel of experts meets twice a year for each edition, and their decisions are based on their knowledge of the market, the authors, and the books themselves, as well as their experience, as well as by the readers’ reports commissioned by this office to readers previously contacted and selected. Members of the panel reach their decision with absolute independence.

The panel for the 2022 edition was formed by:

Andrea Montejo , Founder of the Indent Literary Agency, where she represents Spanish, Portuguese, and English-language authors throughout the world.

Chad Post , Director of Open Letter Books and Managing Editor of Three Percent.

Esther Allen , translator from Spanish and French, Associate Professor at Baruch College, City University of New York.

Katie Whittmore , translator of the 10 of 30: New Spanish Narrative anthologies for 2019 and 2020 in collaboration with Spain’s AECID, and also an Instructor of English for Speakers of Other Languages.

Lawrence Schimel , literary translator, primarily between Spanish and English. He is also an award-winning writer (in Spanish and English) and anthologist.

Marta Lopez-Luaces , Ph. D. in Spanish and Latin American Literatures from NYU and Associate Professor at Montclair SU. She is also a published author.

We greatly appreciate their work in making this edition of New Spanish Books an immense success, after the difficulties imposed on everyone by the two years of pandemic and COVID nightmares.

Thank you!
