Mentoring and more

Translation is often a solitary enterprise, but over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to work for leading British literary organisations that help bring translators together. I was mentored by the acclaimed Danish translator Barbara Haveland, which has been so critical to my career that I want to make sure others can benefit from a similar experience. I’ve since mentored two Danish translators with the National Centre for Writing (NCW), led four 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.
