Workshop on Translation at Hugo House

The Art and Practice of Literary Translation
A one-day workshop at Hugo House in Seattle
www.hugohouse.org/classes/


Translators work with language just as writers do, but with a focus on interpreting content—not creating it directly, but recreating it in new words. In this class, part discussion group and part how-to, we’ll look at writings about literary translation and read translated texts from different languages. We’ll also consider the question of becoming a translator, from courses to take and professional organizations to join to how to choose texts and where to get published.
