As there are many published authors and a number of
translators on this list, I hope no one will mind my
forwarding this notice. I should have done it weeks ago,
because the deadline is creeping up. (Anyway, there's always
next year.) The program offers an opportunity for translators
to spend three weeks in a fantastic setting and even to get
together with their authors there.
Tapani's comment about hoping to translate Ken Bruen reminded
me about this program. Unfortunately that particular
combination would not be eligible, as either the translator
has to be from Canada, the U.S. or Mexico, or the author has
to be from the Americas. That still leaves a lot of
scope.

"Translation, like writing, is both art and craft. With a
touch of alchemy. When translator and author actually get to
meet, the result can be inspired. Nuance is what translates
language into art. There is no substitute for the direct
connection that Banff provides."
~ Ann-Marie MacDonald

States translating from any language, and to international
translators working on literature from the Americas (both the
North and South American continents).

English, French, and Spanish.
