What's new in the translation sector? What have we achieved, apart, together? As I think about this, I am sitting in the back of Conway Hall in London, at English PENSupported by eminent writers, this is the English branch of International Pen, which has centres in nearly 100 countries. It fights for freedom of expression and against political censorship. It campaigns for writers harassed, imprisoned and sometimes murdered for their views. http://www.englishpen.org/'s annual International Translation Day conference for literary translation professionals. I'm tuning in to conversations about reading habits during the pandemic (more international, anecdotally - the idea being that readers have increasingly chosen to "travel through reading"); the big shift to online programming since 2020; the publisher/translator relationship (money, recognition, transparency); and more.
