Kenyon Review’s Summer Translation Workshop Open for Applications!

ALTA-Twitter-Ad-V2

Kenyon Review’s summer translation workshop is open for submissions! The workshop will take place July 12-18, 2020 and applications are rolling.

From the website:
The week-long non-language-specific workshop offers an opportunity for aspiring and mid-career literary translators with a variety of professional backgrounds to couple their creative writing interests with their passion for working between languages. Writers focus on close reading and experimentation with language and style from a strong second language into English. The workshop is conducted seminar-style and activities focus on literary translation as a cross-cultural, creative endeavor, using theoretical readings and examples of works of master translators as guides. By the end of the week, writers will have finished a polished translation that they may continue to prepare for publication.

Learn more here, and apply soon to have the chance to work with workshop leaders Katherine M. Hedeen, Elizabeth Lowe, and fellows (ALTA’s own Program Manager!) Kelsi Vanada and Bruna Dantas Lobato!
