Description
Are you a (literary) translator, or aspiring to be one? You are warmly invited to participate in a workshop with prominent translators (Ginny Tapley Takemori & Allison Markin Powell) and Tilted Axis Director, Kristen Vida Alfaro. This workshop will provide the opportunity for freelance (literary) translators to identify the challenges in relation to their work, and how to strategise for their work and labour, networking, and supporting one another.
Please in the short google form . For those who are freelance translators, there are some limited opportunities for financial support for your transport (train, etc), so, if relevant, please indicate your interest for this support upon application (optionally, you can attach your brief CV, a maximum of 2 A4 pages to support this application).
Note: There is a public symposium with these speakers the next day, and you are warmly invited to join that too. Details and the sign-up link is listed below.
