Every year the American Literary Translators Association gives out 5 or 6 $1000 fellowships to emerging translators attend the annual conference (to be held this year in Tucson, AZ, the last week of October, details here). ALTA Fellows present their work in a festive reading the first evening (Thursday) of the conference – it’s great exposure (everyone goes), and they have many other opportunities in the course of the conference to connect with established translators who share their language areas and interests. This year’s slate of fellows has just been announced:
Claire Eder (French)
Anne Greeott (Italian & Spanish)
Audrey Hall (Spanish)
Christiana Hills (French)
Canaan Morse (Chinese)
Visit the ALTA website for full profiles of each of the 2015 Fellows and information about the conference. Congratulations, Claire, Anne, Audrey, Christiana, and Canaan – I look forward to meeting you!
