Meet the Future of Literary Translation

Join us to celebrate another successful year of the Emerging Translator Mentorships programme, championing new literary translators into English, and experience fresh work from the finest new literary translators working today.

The Emerging Literary Translator Mentorships programme aims to develop successive new cohorts of literary translators into English, particularly for languages whose literature is currently under-represented in English translation. Since its inception the programme has supported 122 mentees working in 35 languages, including International Booker Prize long-and-shortlistees Nicky Smalley, Sophie Hughes and Reuben Woolley.

Meet our talented 2023 graduates. Fresh from six months' mentoring, they offer you short introductions and readings from their translation projects.

Engage with our literary translators via live chat during the showcase premiere. You can read more about our translators here: https://nationalcentreforwriting.org.uk/emerging-translator-mentorships/2023-translators/
