Episode 38: Jeremy Bai

It's not often you meet a Chinese fantasy and sci-fi translator and writer but if you do, have them on your podcast. In this episode of The Written Scene, author and translator Jeremy Bai discusses how he found (read: snuck) certain books as a teenager, the added difficulty of translating Chinese poetry, why writing and speaking a language are different, how he uses life's responsibilities to maintain a writing schedule, why knowing the business end of writing is important, and so much more.

Head to this Big Bear, CA cabin for a writer's retreat. Room for the family to come along and go do things while you write, too. Or if you like the space, go alone. Either way, it's a great spot for writers and non-writers alike. Tell 'em Adam sent ya.
