🌍 Want to Represent a Language Not Listed?
If your language isn't included in the current call but you believe it should be, you're welcome to apply for the position of Language Editor.
Please include a brief letter of interest in the body of your email, written in the language you'd like to represent, along with an English translation. Show us your voice — you’ll need to impress the current editorial team.
To strengthen your request, attach samples of your previously published work in that language. These can be PDFs or links. This part is not optional — it’s a big and required plus.
