For all South Asian writers, an opportunity not to miss: A free, nine-month program that pairs excellent emerging South Asian writers working in English with a mentor. Fellows meet their mentors, attend craft workshops and masterclasses, and have access to bursaries and a community of peers.

Working as a translator doesn't only consist in one-way travel. Often the most challenging part of the translation learning curve is translating from your most comfortable language into your target language. We are delighted to continue offering workshops both in and out of four languages.
