Bristol Translates is an online summer school where language lovers work together exploring literary translation. This year’s event will take place from 3 to 7 July, comprising three days of workshops (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) from nine languages into English or, alternatively, in a multilingual group. 

The other two days are filled with panel discussions and workshops on industry trends, job readiness and the opportunities available around different literary genres (fiction and non-fiction). These include sessions onhow to pitch to publishers, how to approach literary journals and magazines, how to negotiate contracts, how to translate for the stage, translator activism, queer translation, translation at war. 

Bristol Translates offers a very extensive programme, and participants from previous years have lauded it as a launchpad of their careers.
