Mentoring and more

Translation is often a solitary enterprise, but over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to work with leading literary organisations in the UK that help bring translators together. I was mentored by the acclaimed Danish translator Barbara Haveland, an experience so critical for my development that I want to make sure others can benefit from a similar experience. I’ve mentored several translators for the National Centre for Writing (NCW), led a number of week-long workshop programmes for the British Centre for Literary Translation (BCLT) , and helped establish and run the Foreign Affairs Theatre Translator mentorship. Other institutions I’ve collaborated with include University College London, the Danish Arts Foundation, the Danish Embassy in London, the University of Edinburgh, Norwegian Literature Abroad (NORLA) and the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London.
