Tŷ Newydd, Wales
This spring sees the first in a series of reunions for the Word Express writers as part of the translation phase of the project. Welsh writers Owen Martell and Siân Melangell Dafydd will welcome Milan Dobričić from Serbia, Mima Simić from Croatia and Igor Isakovski from Macedonia.
This five day workshop, in the wild and beautiful surrounds of Ty Newydd writers’ retreat, will focus on translation. Each participant will have the chance to practice the steps of literary translation and spend some time exploring the mountains and coast of North Wales.
The participants will get to discuss their writing and work as publishers and editors with the aim of forging co-operation and sharing skills which will go on to help them on their way to translation and publication. The workshop is organised by Literature Across Frontiers and Wales Literature Exchange.
