From the website:
“June 10 – 17, 2024
The 10th annual Bread Loaf Translators’ Conference is a week-long series designed to provide training and community to beginning and experienced translators, as well as those who want to be more sophisticated readers of literary translation or want to incorporate it into the classroom.
The Translators’ Conference aims to strengthen the visibility and access to high quality literary translations in the United States, and also to acknowledge that translators require the same training and skills as creative writers.
Our faculty are acclaimed and award-winning translators including Madhu H. Kaza and Matvei Yankelevich (Introductory workshops); Kareem James Abu-Zeid (poetry workshop); Anton Hur and Bruna Dantas Lobato (prose workshops); and Emily Wilson (mixed workshop including prose and poetry). In addition to their literary accomplishments, our faculty has been specifically chosen for their skill at guiding developing translators in a given genre.
Other guests from the publishing, literary, and translating world will offer panels, discussions, or one-on-one meetings with conference participants.”
