Dos convocatorias para quienes traducen a inglés


Colegas que traducen literatura a inglés:


Gracias al infatigable blog arablit.org, nos enteramos de que está abierta la convocatoria para las becas PEN/HEIM para traducción literaria de cualquier lengua a inglés.

La convocatoria cierra el 15 de agosto de 2016 y la pueden consultar en este enlace:

Aquí algunos de los puntos más importantes:
  • A ten to twelve page sample is required for the submission. 
  • The PEN/Heim Translation Fund provides grants to support the translation of book-length works of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, or drama that have not previously appeared in English in print or have appeared only in an outdated or otherwise flawed translation.
  • Works should be translations-in-progress, as the grant aims to provide support for completion.
  • There are no restrictions on the nationality or citizenship of the translator, but the works must be translated into English.
  • The Fund seeks to encourage translators to undertake projects they might not otherwise have had the means to attempt.
  • Anthologies with multiple translators, works of literary criticism, and scholarly or technical texts do not qualify.
  • As of 2008, translators who have previously been awarded grants by the Fund are ineligible to reapply for three years after the year in which they receive a grant.
  • Please note that projects that have been previously submitted and have not received a grant are unlikely to be reconsidered in a subsequent year.
  • Projects may have up to two translators.
  • Translators may only submit one project per year.
