International Literary Translation & Creative Writing Summer School

Delivered by the British Centre for Literary Translation in partnership with the National Centre for Writing

The International Literary Translation & Creative Writing Summer School 2021 will take place ONLINE (19-23 July 2021). Applications for the 2021 Summer School will open in January 2021. 

The online Summer School includes many of our regular activities plus a few different sessions unique to the new online format:

• Language-specific workshop strands (languages to be announced later this year)
• Multilingual workshop strands for those translating from any language into English
• Training the Trainer workshop strand for more experienced translators who are interested in running literary translation workshops in their home country 
• All workshops are designed to encourage collaboration and peer learning in a small group setting (maximum of 10 translators in a group).
• Creative Writing workshops
• Author and translator readings
• Plenary panels with industry professionals
• Short talks on hot topics
• Optional online evening social events

The plenary sessions and short talks from the 2020 Summer School are now available to watch on our YouTube Channel.
