This event is part of Manchester In Translation with Comma Press.

Filiz Emre is a Turkish translator based in London. She has translated numerous children’s books from English to Turkish and works closely with Turkish speaking communities in London as a public sector interpreter. She delivers workshops with the education initiative Shadow Heroes, and regularly volunteers for various community projects.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR UK-BASED TRANSLATORS ONLY.

There are many ways to translate a given sentence, but how do we know which one works best? Groups will work on collaborative translations of texts across different genres, guided by experienced translators. This is a great opportunity to take your translating to the next level, hone your creative writing skills and meet like-minded people.
