International Literary Translation & Creative Writing Summer School, 22 - 28 July 2018

Delivered by the British Centre for Literary Translation in partnership with Writers' Centre Norwich

The 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 work on a collaborative translation with the author in residence and 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.

During the week, the workshops are complemented by creative writing workshops and plenary sessions. 

Watch a video of last year's summer school to find out more about how the week works.
