WLT hosts Off the Beaten Craft talks a few times a year, featuring presentations from authors and experts who know their stuff, focused on a genre, form, or topic that we don’t often get to talk about.
A great literary translator combines a passion for foreign literature, deep knowledge of a foreign language, and writing versatility. After all, literary translators are writers called upon to recreate another writer’s ideas and style in a different language. What does it take to translate literature well, and what is different about publishing a translation versus an original work? What does it mean to be a professional literary translator?
Join us for this presentation if:
- You don’t know what a literary translator does and why.
- You want to learn more about the art of translation.
- You’re interested in learning how someone becomes a translator.
