German to English Translation Workshop. Led by Katy Derbyshire
The Goethe-Institut London is delighted to have German author Sandra Hoffman joining this year's BCLT Summer School for the German to English translation workshop.
Translation and creative writing share the same passion - a thorough investigation of language. The BCLT Summer School 2018 combines both. Every year the renowned Summer School brings together translators and writers for an intensive one-week residential programme of hands-on translation and creative writing practice.
In language-specific workshops groups of translators work on a collaborative translation with the author in residence and the workshop leader. The programme includes creative writing sessions designed for literary translators as well as lectures and readings.
This year the German to English Translation Course will be joined by German writer Sandra Hoffmann and again led by renowned translator Katy Derbyshire.
Presented by the BCLT (British Centre for Literary Translation) in partnership with the Writers’ Centre Norwich and the Goethe-Institut London.
