Non-Fiction
Writers and their translators often work closely together to bring about the finest possible translations. What can these exchanges bring to a translation? Who benefits? Can it change the way a writer approaches their practice? Is collaboration of this kind especially relevant for writers on this island?
In partnership with Literature Ireland, this event is for anyone who is interested in words and how they travel.
Literature Ireland brings the finest of Irish literature in the best possible literary translations to readers around the world. It does this by awarding translation grants to publishers, by hosting literary translators in Ireland, and by representing Irish writers at international events, book fairs and festivals.
A not-for-profit organisation, Literature Ireland (known as Ireland Literature Exchange until 2016) is funded by Culture Ireland and the Arts Council Ireland. Operating since 1995, Literature Ireland has funded the translation of over 2,500 works of Irish literature into 58 languages around the world.
