International Literary Translation & Creative Writing Summer School
21 July 2019 @ 08:00 - 27 July 2019 @ 17:00
International Literary Translation & Creative Writing Summer School, 21 – 27 July 2019
Delivered by the British Centre for Literary Translation in partnership with the National Centre for Writing
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
The annual BCLT Summer School brings together writers and translators for an intensive, one-week, residential programme of hands-on translation and creative writing practice. For most language-specific workshops, groups have the unique opportunity to work on a collaborative translation with both the author in residence and the workshop leader. For translators working from any other languages there are two multilingual workshops, one for poetry and one for prose. These are designed for translators working from any language into English.
All workshops are designed to encourage collaboration and peer learning in a small group setting (maximum of 14 translators in a group).
During the week, the workshops are complemented by creative writing workshops for all participants and also plenary sessions, such as publishing panels and lectures.
Watch a video of the 2017 summer school to find out more about how the week works and visit our ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ page for more details.
