Brief description: We are delighted to announce that applications are now open for the Summer School 2016. Run by the British Centre for Literary Translation in partnership
with Writers’ Centre Norwich, the Summer School will bring together writers and translators for an intensive, one-week, residential programme of hands-on translation and creative writing practice.
