TRAVELS (and more) WITH CECILIA BRAINARD: Top Translated Authors

Top Translated Authors - Includes Cecilia Brainard

Thanks to my literary agent Senja Pozar for negotiating all but one of my foreign translations, putting me in the 'Top Translated Authors' of the Philippine Works and Translation Data base.

The data base chart, maintained by Anthony John Balisi, a project begun by the NBDB, is from September 2025.

It's dynamic and changes. In this chart I tie with Nobel Prize Winner Maria Ressa in getting 17.2 percent of the total number of translations.

I'm sharing this primarily to give credit to my literary agent Senja.
