 <\/p>\n

As a publishing house, Nomad Papaya Books focuses on publishing artist books and zines by East and Southeast Asian artists who share the cross-border experience of living away from their homelands. Reflecting the artists\u2019 backgrounds, our books are in most cases multilingual (usually combining English, Traditional Chinese, and either the artist\u2019s native language or the languages present in their work). Translation and proofreading are central to our editorial process, which can be both a challenge and a learning experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taking our publications \u201cMahjong: An International Manual\u201d; \u201cUngenie\u00dfbare Zeichnungen\u201d; and \u201cMoments before Tandav\u201d as examples, we will share our publishing practice\u2014how it relates to our choices of languages, how multilingualism affects the layout and visual aspect of a book, and the various challenges we encountered in the editing\u2013translating\u2013proofreading process.<\/p>\n
