Advanced Korean Workshop: Pitch Your Translation
Monday 12th October, Tuesday 13th October & Monday 30th November 2026, ONLINE
Applications for the BCLT Advanced Korean Workshop are now open. Korean-to-English literary translators are invited to participate in an intensive, three-day online workshop focused on pitching, facilitated by translator Sung Ryu and editor Hannah Chukwu (Dialogue Books). This is an exciting opportunity for translators to sharpen their pitches for a book-length project, receiving feedback from fellow seasoned translators, the editor in residence, a literary agent, and other publishing professionals. On the final day of the workshop, participants will have a chance to pitch their projects to a group of editors.
This workshop is geared towards more experienced translators who have begun publishing but are unsure how to navigate unagented submissions. Translators are encouraged to apply with passion projects that have fallen through the cracks of commercial publishing, projects that take risks and look beyond trends, and projects that deserve a home with the right support and network.
The core sessions will run from 10am - 5pm (UK time) each day, along with some later plenary sessions that will be optional to attend.
You can watch the plenary sessions from previous Advanced Translation workshops on the BCLT YouTube channel.
Applications are now open and you can download the forms via the How to Apply page.
