How, then, could we raise the profile of Korean literature overseas? In order to achieve the goal, three things are imperative: great writers, good translators and big-name publishers. As someone who is in charge of translating and publishing Korean literature overseas, I am always on the lookout for a literary masterpiece that can represent Korean literature, a superb translator who can render the original work beautifully and an internationally well-known publisher that has connections with the press and influence on the book market. Of course, finding them is not an easy task. As much as attractive literary works and famous publishers are important in promoting Korean literature overseas, my immediate concern is translation. Tracy Fisher from the WME Agency in U.S. recently pointed out, “For a Korean writer to break out into the English language market, a quality translator attached to the book early will be the key.”
