I just found out about this (literally), but for any undergrad or graduate translators from German under the age of 30, here’s some info on the 2008 Susan Sontag Prize for Translation. <\/p>\n

\n

This $5,000 prize will commission a work of literary translation by a university undergraduate or graduate student under the age of 30. The translation must be written from German into English, and must be a work of contemporary fiction by a living German writer. The translation must fall under the category of fiction or letters. The student will propose his or her own translation project; acceptable proposals include a novella, a play, a collection of short stories or poems, or a collection of letters that have literary import. The project should be manageable for a five-month period of work; the commission will be granted in May 2008, and the translation must be completed by October 2008.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Visit the Susan Sontag<\/a> site for more info. (BTW: I assume the January 30, 2007 deadline is just a typo.) <\/p>\n

And feel contact me if you think Open Letter might be interested in your project . . . <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
