Lee said in 2011, "We operate differently from other translation journals in that we don't just sit back and wait for translations to come to us. We actually identify the good work from writers [that haven't yet been introduced to the English-speaking world] and actively seek out translators to help to translate the work for us." In 2016, Asymptote celebrated its fifth anniversary with public events held in New York, London, Ottawa, and Chicago.
