On Contracts and Other Business-Related Stuff: The American PEN website has some invaluable resources regarding the business end of literary translation, including a section on Negotiating a Contract, a Sample Contract, and also a list of Selected Books on Translation.
How-to Manuals: We never thought anyone could write a 'how-to' for literary translation, but then someone did: the Dalkey Archives' Translation in Practice book is ostensibly the notes on a 2008 symposium on literary translation best practices, but the result is wonderfully written, audaciously broad-ranging, and incredibly helpful. Notes on the nitty gritty of dealing with editors and authors, negotiating contracts, dealing with regional dialect, editing… Nearly everything you could want to ask.
Thinking Chinese Translation: another how-to book, with lots of good insights, by two very reputable UK-based teachers, Valerie Pellatt, and Eric Liu. This is Routledge course-book, available direct or from Amazon.
