English Literary Translation Webinar

The Hungarian Translators’ House, with the support of the Petőfi Literary Fund, is inviting applications for a Hungarian to English Literary Translation Webinar taking place between 12 and 18 July 2020. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the event is going digital and sessions will be conducted online and not at the House in Balatonfüred. Participants will be able to immerse themselves in the challenges of translating different literary genres and benefit from expert talks on contemporary Hungarian literature and the landscape of translation publishing.

All participants will receive a bursary, and will be expected to take part in daily translation workshops and to submit one piece of translated text they completed during the week.

If interested, please submit:

• a current CV
• a sample translation of up to 1,000 words (in English, together with its Hungarian original)
• a brief statement describing your translation practice/experience and what you aim to bring to the event.

Please send applications by 15 June 2020 to the organizers:
