with special guest Katy Derbyshire
Join us online on the 8th of February for our first monthly Stammtisch of the year with special guest Katy Derbyshire.
The workshops are aimed at emerging and established literary translators and are organised by the Goethe-Institut Glasgow and hosted by Rebecca DeWald. Meet fellow translators to discuss your work and the joys and issues related to (literary) translation.
We are delighted that fellow translator
Katy Derbyshire will be joining us for this meeting.
